The nine gifts of the Spirit are listed in (1cor 12:8-11)
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;
to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts
of healing by the same Spirit; to anohter the working of
miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of
spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the
interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh the one
and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally
as he will.
The gifts of the Spirit show the power of God while the
fruit of the Spirit shows the character of God. There are
some of God's power that He cannot entrust us with if
we do not have His character. In order to have more of
the operation of God's power in our lives, we must first
seek His character.(Gal 5:22)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law.
The fruit of the Spirit balances the Gifts of the Spirit.
There are nine Gifts and there are nine Fruits.
