- For thou, O God, hast proved us:
thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. 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.Next verse!With image
