  • 2. I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord.

  • 7. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

  • 9. The things which ye both learned and received and heard and saw in me, these things do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
  • 10. But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye have revived your thought for me; wherein ye did indeed take thought, but ye lacked opportunity.
  • 11. Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therein to be content.
