Unity in Humility
The command to "be of the same mind" is not about demanding everyone agree on every detail. Instead, commentators explain it as a call for deep, affectionate unity. It means pursuing the same goals for your fellow believers as you do for yourself, without divided interests or selfish ambition. This harmony, as one scholar notes, is a foundation for Christian fellowship.
