The Characteristics For A Christian:

Galatians 5:22-24~ 22.But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23.Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24.And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Charity:

1 Corinthians 13~ 1.Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2.And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3.And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4.Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5.Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6.Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7.Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8.Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9.For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10.But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11.When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12.For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13.And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

1 Corinthians 14:1~ 1.Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

Love:

Luke 6:27-36~ 27.But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, 28.Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. 29.And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. 30.Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 31.And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. 32.For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 33.And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. 34.And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35.But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 36.Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

John 13:34-35~ 34.A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35.By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

1 John 4:20-21~ 20.If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21.And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Joy:

1 Peter 1:8~ 8.Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

Faith:

Hebrews 11~ 1.Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2.For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3.Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4.By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5.By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6.But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 7.By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. 8.By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9.By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10.For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 11.Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. 12.Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. 13.These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14.For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 15.And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 16.But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. 17.By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18.Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19.Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. 20.By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. 21.By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. 22.By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. 23.By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. 24.By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; 25.Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26.Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 27.By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 28.Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 29.By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. 30.By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. 31.By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. 32.And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: 33.Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. 34.Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 35.Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: 36.And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 37.They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; 38.(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. 39.And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: 40.God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.


Meekness:

Isaiah 29:19~ 19.The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

Matthew 5:5~ 5.Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

2 Timothy 2:25~ 25.In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

Titus 3:2~ 2.To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

James 1:21~ 21.Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

1 Peter 3:4~ 4.But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

1 Peter 3:15~ 15.But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Temperance:

2 Peter 1:5-6~ 5.And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6.And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
