We draw conclusions about everything. We gather data. We apply logic. We develop and propose theories about everything. We challenge and test our theories constantly as we gather more data.

GOD'S WORD® Translation
Finally, brothers and sisters, keep your thoughts on whatever is right or deserves praise: things that are true, honorable, fair, pure, acceptable, or commendable
