Euodias

The Apostle Paul heard about two women in the church at Philippi who were not of the same mind and he exhorted these two prominent workers to “be of the same mind in the Lord,” he implied that they had been previously at variance. What caused the breach between these two, we are not told. Perhaps one had a more dominant personality than the other and received more attention. Whatever the dispute was, it became serious and hindered the work of the Lord, so he besought the two women to give up their differences and live at peace in the Lord. The only reference in the Bible.

Philippians 4:2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.

They had aided Paul as he worked in Philippi, and now they were at odds.

Let’s agree to serve the Lord!

Philippians 4:3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life.

Pride?
