<p>4:2- see on 1 Cor. 14:34.</p><p><i>I exhort Euodia and I exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord</i>- This repeats the earlier appeals to have the same mind, that of the Lord Jesus (2:2,5). The appeal is not simply that they should have the same mind about the issues dividing them, but to have the same mind which is &quot;in the Lord&quot; Jesus. Whatever the differences between these two sisters (:3 &quot;these women&quot;), the fundamental issue was that they were not of the mind of the Lord Jesus. We will never have the same mind over many issues; but we can each be devoted to the replication of the mind of Jesus within us, and this of itself will bring about the unity of the Spirit.</p>
