Things – a word, an account, business matters, matters in general, a work, sayings. [1]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

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]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Being confident of this very thing<\/strong>, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform\u00a0it\u00a0until the day of Jesus Christ: <\/em>Phil 1:6<\/p>\n

That ye may approve things <\/strong>that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;<\/em> Phil 1:10<\/p>\n

But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things\u00a0<\/strong>which happened\u00a0unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;<\/em> Phil 1:12<\/p>\n

Do all things<\/strong> without murmurings and disputings:<\/em> Phil 2:14<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 For all seek their own, not the things <\/strong>which are Jesus Christ’s.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Phil 2:21<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0But what things <\/strong>were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Phil 3:7<\/p>\n

Yea doubtless, and I count all things<\/strong>\u00a0but\u00a0loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things,<\/strong> and do count them\u00a0but\u00a0dung, that I may win Christ,\u00a0<\/em> Phil 3:8<\/p>\n

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but\u00a0this\u00a0one thing<\/strong>\u00a0I do, forgetting those things<\/strong> which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things<\/strong> which are before,<\/em> Phil 3:13<\/p>\n

(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping,\u00a0that they are<\/em>\u00a0the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0destruction, whose God\u00a0is their<\/em>\u00a0belly,\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0and\u00a0whose<\/em>\u00a0glory\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0in their shame, who mind earthly things.)<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Phil 3:18&19<\/p>\n

For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:\u00a0Who 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 <\/strong>unto himself.<\/em>\u00a0 Phil 3:20&21<\/p>\n

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing<\/strong> by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em> \u00a0 \u00a0Phil 4:6<\/p>\n

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,<\/strong> whatsoever things\u00a0are\u00a0honest, <\/strong>whatsoever things\u00a0are\u00a0just, <\/strong>whatsoever things\u00a0are\u00a0pure, <\/strong>whatsoever things\u00a0are\u00a0lovely, <\/strong>whatsoever things\u00a0are\u00a0of good report; <\/strong>if\u00a0there be\u00a0any virtue,<\/strong> and if\u00a0there be\u00a0any praise, think on these things.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em> Phil 4:8<\/p>\n

Those things,<\/strong> which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.\u00a0<\/em> Phil 4:9<\/p>\n

I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things<\/strong> I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.\u00a0<\/em> Phil 4:12<\/p>\n

I can do all things <\/strong>through Christ which strengtheneth me.<\/em>\u00a0 <\/strong>Phil 4:13<\/p>\n

But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things\u00a0<\/strong>which were sent\u00a0<\/strong>from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.\u00a0<\/em> Phil 4:18<\/p>\n
