What is it then? at any rate, in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is announced; and in this I rejoice, yea, also I will rejoice;

If then there be any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and compassions,

Though I have my trust even in flesh; if any other think to trust in flesh, I rather:

if any way I arrive at the resurrection from among the dead.

As many therefore as are perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you.

For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are noble, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are amiable, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if any praise, think on these things.
