The Greek word for "fruit" (καρπός, karpos) suggests a natural product of a living organism, indicating that these virtues are the natural result of a life transformed by the light of the Gospel. The "light" here refers to the divine illumination and truth brought by Jesus Christ, contrasting with the darkness of sin and ignorance. Historically, light has been a symbol of purity, knowledge, and divine presence, as seen in the Old Testament, where God's word is described as a lamp and light (Psalm 119:105). consists in all goodness righteousness and truth Goodness and righteousness and truth.--These are practical exhibitions of the "being true in love," described in Ephesians 4:15 as the characteristic of the Christ-like soul. For "goodness" is love in practical benevolence, forming, in Galatians 5:22, a climax to "longsuffering" and "kindness," and, in 2Thessalonians 1:11, distinguished as practical from the "faith" which underlies practice. The other two qualities, "righteousness" and "truth"--that is, probably, truthfulness-are both parts of the great principle of "being true." Verse 9. - For the fruit of light is [shown] in all goodness and righteousness and truth.
