「末了的話,弟兄們,凡是真實的,凡是莊重的,凡是公義的,凡是純潔的,凡是可愛的,凡是有美名的;若有甚麼德行,若有甚麼稱讚,這些事你們都要思念。」(腓四8)
Finally, brothers, what things are true, what things are dignified, what things are righteous, what things are pure, what things are lovely, what things are well spoken of, if there is any virtue and if any praise, take account of these things.(phil4:8)
在腓立比書二章,我們看見基督是榜樣,在三章,我們看見要追求基督以贏得祂。在四章,這裏的美德同樣是指向基督。八節的這六項美德不僅僅是屬人的美德,更是我們所活之基督的彰顯。
