Lovely to the faithful, lovely to God. Whatsoever things are true. Virtue is really true, vice is falsehood. For the pleasure of it is a falsehood, and its glory is falsehood, and all things of the world are falsehood. Whatsoever things are pure.
Whatsoever things are honorable.
If there be any virtue, if there be any praise. Here he willeth them to take thought of those things too which regard men. The things which ye both learned and received. For when we are at peace with Him, and we are so through virtue, much more will He be at peace with us. Nothing is such an enemy of our nature as vice.
