2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.
2 then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends.
2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
2 Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Philippians 2:2
Commentary on Philippians 2:1-4
(Read Philippians 2:1-4)
Here are further exhortations to Christian duties; to like-mindedness and lowly-mindedness, according to the example of the Lord Jesus. Kindness is the law of Christ's kingdom, the lesson of his school, the livery of his family. Several motives to brotherly love are mentioned. If you expect or experience the benefit of God's compassions to yourselves, be compassionate one to another. It is the joy of ministers to see people like-minded. Christ came to humble us, let there not be among us a spirit of pride. We must be severe upon our own faults, and quick in observing our own defects, but ready to make favourable allowances for others. We must kindly care for others, but not be busy-bodies in other men's matters. Neither inward nor outward peace can be enjoyed, without lowliness of mind.
