Phil 4:8


Finally, brethren,
(brother, whether born of the same two parents or only of the same father or mother)

whatever things are true, (loving the truth, speaking the truth, truthful)
whatever things are noble, (to be venerated for character, honorable of persons or deeds)
whatever things are just, (righteous, observing divine laws)
whatever things are pure, (exciting reverence, venerable, sacred)
whatever things are lovely, (acceptable, pleasing)
whatever things are of good report,
(sounding well; uttering words of good omen, speaking auspiciously)

if there is any virtue (any particular moral excellence, as modesty, purity)
and if there is anything praiseworthy-- (approbation, commendation, praise)

meditate on these things.
