Finally[a] brothers and sisters, whatever is true,(A) whatever is honorable,(B) whatever is just,(C) whatever is pure,(D) whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence(E) and if there is anything praiseworthy—dwell on these things. Do what you have learned and received(F) and heard from me, and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
