4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, ³  whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things.

Philippians 3:4

3:4 – though mine too are significant. ⁴  If someone thinks he has good reasons to put confidence in human credentials, ⁵  I have more:

[2:1]  ¹ tn Or “spiritual fellowship” if πνεύματος (pneumato") is an attributive genitive; or “fellowship brought about by the Spirit” if πνεύματος is a genitive of source or production.

[2:1]  ² tn Grk “and any affection and mercy.” The Greek idea, however, is best expressed by “or” in English.

[4:8]  ³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:12.

[3:4]  ⁵ tn Grk “though I have reason for confidence even in the flesh.”

[3:4]  ⁶ tn Grk “flesh.”
