If we live in the Spirit, we will manifest the fruit ( ____ and ____) of the Spirit.

• A. joy; peace
• B. beliefs; deeds
• C. wisdom; understanding
• D. attitudes; actions

Answer: (D)

Living in the Spirit changes who you are inside and how that shows on the outside. The fruit of the Spirit is meant to be visible both as inner character and as outward conduct. So the best pairing is attitudes and actions—the inner dispositions that guide how you respond, and the outward behavior that others see. While joy and peace are among the fruits, the question is asking for a description of how that fruit manifests as a whole, which fits best with inner attitudes paired with outward actions. Beliefs and deeds, or wisdom and understanding, don’t align as closely with the common portrayal of the Spirit’s fruit in a life lived by faith.
