The same Nikita David Paphagonia discussing the Apostle Matthew.
Thanks in advance.
их жестокосердие, недоверчивость и непреклонность он смягчил своим нежным, ласковым и кротким нравом; их грубость, притворство и невежество он переменил своей благомысленностью… Эти суровые люди, на собственном языке восприняв богословские рассуждения, отбросив гневливость, отложив угрозы, сменили неверие на веру… Он совлек с черных их покров.

good thoughts
Сравните:
Три храма с выгравированными на стенах названиями символизируют на самом деле этическую триаду зороастрийской религии: благомыслие, благословие, благодеяние
ru.wikipedia.org/.../Волшебная_флейта
Zoroastrian morality is then to be summed up in the simple phrase, "good thoughts, good words, good deeds"

: contextually irrelevant? not always winning, right?

Виктор, не понимаю замечания, повторите по-русски, пожалуйста. Do you mean "wholesome" is out of place in religious contexts?? But, it doesn't mean "winning." Cf. famous Shakespeare "Christmas" passage from Hamlet, "so...wholesome is that time."

beneficence, grace
Many interesting possibilities.
Also perhaps magnanimity, cerebral munificence.
Great passage, by the way, thank you for posting the question : )

: thus you emphasize deeds (благодеяние) while the context suggests aural expression of mental state?

It's a bit of a departure, but since there's no true equivalent I find it's preferable stylistically. Also consider the other options I suggest.

positive (good) way of thinking

: "штиль" более приличествует постулированиям Р. Кийосаки, нежели описанию жития святых.. Если позволите, конечно.

pure-mindedness
Although this word does not appear in the dictionary, I ran across it in adjectival form in a missionary biography, of all things: "Amy Carmichael of Dohnavur," Frank Houghton
see below
see below
Example sentence:
"I have never met a purer-minded man. I have never met a man with a higher ideal of love and service."
Something went wrong...
