Finally, brethren, so many things as are true, so many things as are noble, so many things as are righteous, so many things as are pure, so many things as are lovely, so many things as are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things.

And I pray this, that your divine love may yet more and more abound in perfect knowledge and all understanding;

and many of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are bold to speak the word of God more fluently without fear.
