Walk Together in What You Know
Commentators like Albert Barnes and Charles Spurgeon emphasize that this verse is a powerful call for church unity. Even when Christians are at different stages of spiritual maturity or disagree on lesser matters, Paul urges them to focus on the core truths they hold in common.
