1.) Repetition of "whatever is..." (more specifically anaphora)

2.) Rhetorical Question, drawing the audience into the "conversation"

1. In the first example, the rhetorical device used is repetition. The repetition of the phrase "whatever is" at the beginning of each phrase emphasizes the importance of focusing on these specific qualities or virtues.

2. In the second example, the rhetorical device used is a rhetorical question. The question "Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?" is meant to provoke thought and challenge the listener's perspective by presenting a scenario that seems contradictory.
