Philippians
4:8-9 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.
9.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.

for all who are the believer's of Christ.

people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now
have obtained mercy.

nation, a Peculiar people.
