FINALLY, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WHATEVER IS TRUE, WHATEVER IS NOBLE, WHATEVER IS RIGHT, WHATEVER IS PURE, WHATEVER IS LOVELY, WHATEVER IS ADMIRABLE—IF ANYTHING IS EXCELLENT OR PRAISEWORTHY—THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS.

“Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭28‬:‭26‬

“A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬

“Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.”

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
