8. Brothers, continue to think about the things that are good and worthy of praise. Think about the things that are true and honorable and right and pure and beautiful and respected.
9. And do what you learned and received from me. Do what I told you and what you saw me do. And the God who gives peace will be with you.
10. I am very happy in the Lord that you have shown your care for me again. You continued to care about me, but there was no way for you to show it.
11. I am telling you this, but it is not because I need anything. I have learned to be satisfied with the things I have and with everything that happens.
