Philippians 4:8 From Another Perspective

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." - Philippians 4:8

Now, what if this had been written as a what-not-to-do list...I propose:

Finally, brothers, if you find something that is false or that does not give you a firm foundation or that you may wish to be true but isn't, a thought that is shameful or that encourages hiding from the light or that doesn't fight for truth, things that are wrong or evil or perhaps just not in staying on God's side of the fence, those things that are dirty and vile or maybe only slightly tarnished, whatever is ugly or imperfect or negative, things that are to be hidden from sight and disposed of instead of revered- if you find things that are not in keeping with God's standard, that don't glorify Him, that drag you into the world and take you farther from God - do not spend any ounce of your time thinking on such things.
