Philippians 4:8-9
Amplified Bible
8 Finally, [a]believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart]. 9 The things which you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things [in daily life], and the God [who is the source] of peace and well-being will be with you.

Philippians 4:8-9
The Message
8-9 Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

The God of peace will be with you.

Raamattu 1933/38
8 Ja vielä, veljet, kaikki, mikä on totta, mikä kunnioitettavaa, mikä oikeaa, mikä puhdasta, mikä rakastettavaa, mikä hyvältä kuuluvaa, jos on jokin avu ja jos on jotakin kiitettävää, sitä ajatelkaa;
9 mitä myös olette oppineet ja saaneet ja minulta kuulleet ja minussa nähneet, sitä tehkää, niin rauhan Jumala on oleva teidän kanssanne.
