Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren. As he concludes his letter, he sums up Christian
duties into a single paragraph.
Whatsoever things are true. Truth in word, in action, and in
thought, must be cherished. Christ is THE TRUTH. His followers must be
truth itself.
Honest. The Greek is "reverend". Whatever is worthy of reverence.
Just. Strict justice in all dealings; an upright life.
Pure. Chaste lives and clean hearts and thoughts.
Lovely. Such deeds as spring from love and inspired love in others.
Of good report. A life of which no evil thing can be truthfully
said.
If [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise. Lest he may
have omitted some excellency he adds, "If there be aught else which is
virtuous or praiseworthy, let these all be the things to which you give
your minds".
