Philippians 4:2
I urge Euodia and Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord.
BSB
ASV
I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord.
KJV
I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche - These were two pious women, as it is generally supposed, who were deaconesses in the Church at Philippi, and who in some points of doctrine and discipline had disagreed. He exhorts them to be of the same mind, that is, to compose their differences; and, if they could not perfectly agree to think and let think, and to avoid all public opposition, as their dissension would strengthen the hands of the common enemy, and stumble those who were weak.
I exhort Euodias and Syntyche It is an almost universally received opinion that Paul was desirous to settle a quarrel, I know not of what sort, between those two women. While I am not inclined to contend as to this, the words of Paul do not afford ground enough for such a conjecture to satisfy us that it really was so.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
