    In Romans 15:14, the genitive singular form occurs in the statement that the readers are full of this quality and able to admonish one another. In Galatians 5:22, the nominative singular form stands in the list the APB renders as the fruit of the Spirit; Ephesians 5:9 places the dative singular form in the fruit of light alongside righteousness and truth, while 2 Thessalonians 1:11 names it in a prayer for every good pleasure and work of faith.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB includes "goodness" in each supplied verse, presenting it as fullness in Romans 15:14, fruit in Galatians 5:22 and Ephesians 5:9, and part of a prayed-for fulfillment in 2 Thessalonians 1:11. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than isolate each token precisely.
