Live in harmony with one another The phrase "Live in harmony" is derived from the Greek word "phroneo," which means to think or to set one's mind on. In the context of Romans 12:16, it suggests a mindset of unity and peace among believers. Harmony is not merely the absence of conflict but an active pursuit of understanding and cooperation. Historically, the early church faced divisions, and Paul's exhortation was a call to transcend differences and reflect the unity found in Christ. This harmony is a testament to the transformative power of the Gospel, urging believers to prioritize communal peace over personal preferences. Do not be proud but associate with the lowly Do not be conceited Condescend to men of low estate.--Probably, on the whole, rightly translated in our version; "Let yourselves be carried on in the stream with those who are beneath yourselves in rank and station; mix with them freely; be ready to lend them a helping hand if ever they need, and do this in a simple and kindly way; do not let any social assumptions keep you at a distance." "Accommodate yourselves," or "condescend"--of course without any conscious idea or appearance of condescension. Another rendering would be "condescend to lowly things," in which case the sense would be nearly equivalent to that of Keble's well-known and beautiful lines-- "The trivial round, the common task, Will furnish all we ought to ask; Room to deny ourselves, a road To bring us daily nearer God." The scholar will observe that in this way of taking the passage, the Greek word for "condescend" (sunapagomenoi) has to be a little forced, or at least is not so expressive and natural as in the other. On the other hand, in the Epistles of a writer like St. Paul, it does not by any means follow that because the word for "high" is neuter that for "low estate" must be neuter too. Be not wise in your own conceits.--Comp. Romans 11:25, and Proverbs 3:7. Humility is necessary to the Christian not only in his dealings with others, but also to keep his mind open and teachable. He sees his errors, and learns from them. . . .
