fruit of the spirit: ss and ccc

re: definition
fr: ccc (1004) # 1832
"the fruits of the Spirit are perfections that the Holy Spirit forms in us as the first fruits of eternal glory."

re: "the fruit of the spirit" (gal 5:22-26 -- NRSV)
vv22-23 "... the fruit of the Spirit is
1. LOVE,
2. JOY,
3. PEACE,
4. PATIENCE,
5. KINDNESS,
6. GENEROSITY,
7. FAITHFULNESS,
[23]
8. GENTLENESS, AND
9. SELF-CONTROL."
the catechism (1994, # 1832) adds:
10. GOODNESS
11. MODESTY
12. CHASTITY
to complete the traditional list of 12, citing the same source, i.e., gal 5:22-23, but using another translation (VULG.).
