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

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

Philippians 4:3 MSG
And, oh, yes, Synzygos, since you’re right there to help them work things out, do your best with them. These women worked for the Message hand in hand with Clement and me, and with the other veterans—worked as hard as any of us. 

Remember, their names are also in the Book of Life.

Colossians 3:12-13
¹² Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; ¹³ forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

Colossians 3:12-13
¹⁴ And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. ¹⁵ And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Colossians 3:16-17
¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. ¹⁷ And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
