Consider These Things

Things – An object or fact, inanimate object, an act, a deed, a work, a thought, notion, utterance, a piece of information, a means, device, recourse. A matter to be dealt with, a characteristic, events, circumstances, a general state of affairs, conditions. [2]

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Phil 1:6

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; Phil 1:10

But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; Phil 1:12

Do all things without murmurings and disputings: Phil 2:14

            For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.                   Phil 2:21

           But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.           Phil 3:7

Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,  Phil 3:8

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, Phil 3:13

(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly,               and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)              Phil 3:18&19

For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.  Phil 3:20&21

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.       Phil 4:6

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.  Phil 4:8

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.  Phil 4:9

I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.  Phil 4:12

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.  Phil 4:13

But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.  Phil 4:18
