Let us walk

Be unanimous among yourselves, not high minded, but accommodating the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be unanimous among yourselves according to Christ Jesus,

And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

and walk in charity even as the Christ also has loved us and has given himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour.

Therefore in the manner in which ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him,

Let us mind

Only let your conversation be as is worthy of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, unanimous, working together for the faith of the gospel,

fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same charity, unanimous, minding the one thing.

I beseech Euodias and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
