Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, 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.

All Commentaries on Philippians 4:8 Go To Philippians 4

John Chrysostom

AD 407

“Whatever is lovable” refers to what is lovable to the faithful, lovable to God. “Whatever is true” refers to that which is virtuous. For what is really true is virtue. Vice is falsehood—its pleasure is false, its glory is false, and everything in it is false. Whatever is pure is the contrary of “thinking earthly thoughts.” “Whatever is honorable” is the contrary of those “whose god is their belly.” .
