- 15:5 Think in harmony: a Greco-Roman ideal. Not rigid uniformity of thought and expression but thoughtful consideration of other people’s views finds expression here.
- 15:7–13 True oneness of mind is found in pondering the ultimate mission of the church: to bring it about that God’s name be glorified throughout the world and that Jesus Christ be universally recognized as God’s gift to all humanity. Paul here prepares his addressees for the climactic appeal he is about to make.
Romans 15:5-6
New International Version
5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind(A) toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify(B) the God and Father(C) of our Lord Jesus Christ.
