Study note

Romans 12:16

  • All three instructions in this verse use the Greek word phroneō, which means “to think.” Paul emphasizes the importance of right Christian thinking in relationships with other believers.

  • Live in harmony: Literally think the same things. This means to share a common attitude and purpose, not to have identical opinions.

  • Do not be conceited: Literally do not think arrogant things. This means not viewing oneself as better than others.
