Now I appeal to Euodia and Syntyche. Please, because you belong to the Lord, settle your disagreement. And I ask you, my true partner, to help these two women, for they worked hard with me in telling others the Good News. They worked along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are written in the Book of Life. (Philippians 4:2, 3 NLT)
Sandwiched between forgetting the past in his own life and giving us the imperative to “Rejoice in The Lord” is Paul’s plea for reconciliation between two leaders. Euodia and Syntyche had worked together in Paul’s ministry but some conflict separated them.
Satan had caused a rift and Paul was praying for it to be healed.
When two people are effective in ministry, watch for satan to try and destroy their relationship. Beloved be on guard against needless dissension. The Bible says “Iron sharpens iron,” so expect some conflict as you serve Christ, but do not allow it to hinder your mission. Let love prevail over all disputes; reconcile your differences as you continue your mission.
