DID YOU KNOW?
The answer
Agree. Lists of vices and virtues were a common teaching tool in the Greek and Roman world, and Paul used the form. His "works of the flesh" and "fruit of the Spirit" (Galatians 5:19-23) are fairly conventional lists, with his own additions: idolatry, the kingdom of God, the law, the Spirit, and belonging to Christ.
Why it’s interesting
Mark's Jesus names twelve evils that come from the human heart (Mark 7:21-22), and other letters carry catalogues of their own. The one in Galatians ends open, with "and things like these" (Galatians 5:21).
