St. Paul, hardly a stranger to danger, privation, and various forms of abuse for the sake of his commitment to the Christ he met on the Damascus Road counsels his spiritual children at Philippi – in terms that have their basis in Roman Stoicism – definitely a clear-eyed approach toward life:
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” [Philippians 4:8]
