Philippians 4:8
“Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble,
whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is
admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things”.
True things
Titus 2:14
Who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and
to purify for himself a people that are his very own; eager to do what is good.
Honest things
Titus 2:2
Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect,
self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
Just things
Romans 3:24-31
24 and are justified freely by his grace through the
redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
25 God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through
faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his
forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—
26 he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time,
so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what
principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith.
28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart
from observing the law.
29 Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles
too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
30 since there is only one God, who will justify the
circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
31 Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all!
Rather, we uphold the law.
Romans 8:4
In order that the righteous requirements of the law might be
fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according
to the Spirit.
2 Peter 1:4-10
4 Through these he
has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may
participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused
by evil desires.
5 For this very reason make every effort to add to your faith
goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance;
and to perseverance, godliness;
7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly
kindness, love.
8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure,
they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and
blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
10 Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your
calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall,
