Before I start to look closer at the qualities of the fruit of the Spirit, it is good to know something about its durability.
Again, Jesus is very clear:
The verse that confirms the durability, does also state that if I want to be a disciple, I am appointed to bear fruit in the world. As previously outlined, this is not my product, but possible only through remaining in him, in the Vine. It is a fruit of his life, not of mine. The fruit of his life is eternal, the fruit of my life is temporary.

Again, Jesus is very clear:
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.It is a fruit that will last. That is contrary to the fruit of this world – whether we think concrete or abstract. Everything that is of the Kingdom is lasting, actually everlasting.
John 15:16
