"Rejoice in the Lord always, delight, gladden yourselves in Him;
again I say, "Rejoice!"
Let all men know and perceive and recognize your unselfishness,
your considerateness, your forbearing spirit.
The Lord is near, He is coming soon.
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but, in every
circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition, definite
requests, with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.
And God's peace shall be yours, that tranquil state of the soul assured
of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God,
and being content with its earthly lot of whatever that is, that peace,
which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard
over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence
and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever
is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if
there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise,
think on and weigh and take account of these things."
(Philippians 4:4-8)
