The Scripture you are referencing says 'fruit' of the Spirit - singular. Think of the Spirit as a tree with branches of which 9 'characteristics' are labelled.
Galatians 5:22-23New King James Version (NKJV)22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
As a new Christian fully repents and is baptized by emersion, receiving the laying upon of hands from God's Minister and promises to follow our perfect example, Jesus Christ, God the Father begats that individual with His Holy Spirit and he/she becomes a new creature in Christ - developing and not born again. The fruit of the Spirit is what will be needed, along with the full armor of God in this world to overcome temptations of the evil one and his followers - to do God's good works as He wills.
