Philippians 4:8 - Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

Php_4:8 f. Subjects of Thought. A second time Paul prepares to close, again using the word Finally. His message now is to commend worthy topics of thought. Departing from the usual Biblical vocabulary, he selects words more often found in the classics to designate pagan excellences. This must be of set purpose, and it means that the readers are to practise the habit of recognising and considering all the good they see in the world outside the church.

Philippians 4:8-9

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest,a whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
