Meditate on These Things

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are atrue, whatever things are bnoble, whatever things are cjust, dwhatever things are pure, whatever things are elovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.  
9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and athe God of peace will be with you.  

Philippian Generosity

Philippians 4:8

Finally - To sum up all. Whatsoever things are true - Here are eight particulars placed in two fourfold rows; the former containing their duty; the latter, the commendation of it. The first word in the former row answers the first in the latter; the second word, the second and so on. True - In speech. Honest - In action. Just - With regard to others. Pure - With regard to yourselves. Lovely - And what more lovely than truth? Of good report - As is honesty, even where it is not practised. If there be any virtue - And all virtues are contained in justice. If there be any praise - In those things which relate rather to ourselves than to our neighbour. Think on these things - That ye may both practise them yourselves, and recommend them to others.
