Filipenses 4:2 Meaning and Commentary

Philippians 4:2

I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche
Two women, who were members of this church at Philippi, and who seem to have been at variance; either with each other, on account of some temporal and civil things, as often is the case of the dear children of God, who fall out by the way; and it becomes a very hard and difficult task to reconcile them, though as here entreated in the most tender and importunate manner to agree: or else with the church, having entertained some sentiments in religion different from it; being drawn aside by false teachers from the simplicity of the Gospel, and their steadfastness in the faith; and this may rather be thought to be the meaning, since the apostle would scarcely take notice of a private difference in so public a manner, and since this exhortation follows so closely the former: that they be of the same mind in the Lord;
either that they agree together, and be reconciled to each other, considering the relation they stood in to one another, and to the Lord; or that they become of the same mind, and embrace the same truths, and profess and maintain the same principles the church did; and so the Arabic version renders it, "that ye entertain one and the same opinion concerning the faith of the Lord".

Filipenses 4:2 In-Context

1 Portanto, meus irmãos, a quem amo e de quem tenho saudade, vocês que são a minha alegria e a minha coroa, permaneçam assim firmes no Senhor, ó amados!

2 O que eu rogo a Evódia e também a Síntique é que vivam em harmonia no Senhor.

3 Sim, e peço a você, leal companheiro de jugo, que as ajude; pois lutaram ao meu lado na causa do evangelho, com Clemente e meus demais cooperadores. Os seus nomes estão no livro da vida.

4 Alegrem-se sempre no Senhor. Novamente direi: Alegrem-se!

5 Seja a amabilidade de vocês conhecida por todos. Perto está o Senhor.
