Unity is a Gift from God
Commentators observe that Paul moves from instruction to prayer, acknowledging that unity is a divine gift. He calls on the "God of patience and comfort" because God is the ultimate source of the grace needed for believers to be united. This highlights that while Christians must pursue unity, its achievement depends on God's power.
