Notes

agree with each other in the Lord: The Lord's people should live in peace with one another (see 2:2; 1 Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:1–3, 31–32; Colossians 3:12–15). We do not know what the disagreement between Euodia and Syntyche was about.

Before ending the letter, Paul discusses a small conflict in the church and writes a few words of encouragement.
