Be Rejoicing In The Lord, Kind To All, And Praying To God

⁴ Be rejoicing in the Lord always; again I will say, be rejoicing. ⁵ Let your kindness^[a] be known to all people. The Lord is near. ⁶ Be anxious-about nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgivings, let your requests be made-known to God. ⁷ And the peace of God surpassing all understanding will guard^[b] your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Be Considering And Practicing All That Is True And Commendable

⁸ Finally, brothers, be considering these things— whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are commendable, if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise. ⁹ Be practicing these things which you indeed learned and received and heard and saw in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
