We are united with Christ and we need to strive to be united to one another in the same way. Paul reminds us to be “like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose” and to put away conceit and selfishness, “but in humility consider others better than yourselves” looking out for the interest of others and caring for one another (Philippians 2:2-4). There would be far less conflict in churches today if we all took to heart Paul’s advice.
Tumepatanishwa na Kristo na tunahitaji kujitahidi kuwa na umoja kati yetu vile vile. Paulo anatukumbusha kuwa "na nia moja, wenye mapenzi mamoja,wenye roho moja mkinia mamoja" na msitende neno lo lote kwa kushindana wala kwa majivuno, "bali kwa unyenyekevu, kila mtu na amhesabu mwenziwe kuwa bora kuliko nafsi yake" kila mtu asiangalie mambo yake mwenyewe, bali kila mtu aangalie mambo ya wengine (Wafilipi 2: 2-4). Kungekuwa na migogoro chache sana katika makanisa siku hizi ikiwa zote tungechukua ushauri wa Paulo moyoni.
