a command for mutual greeting and what we now call “The Grace,” there is another such series of calls for unity. “Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice, be (re)unified, be encouraged, think the same, be peaceable, and the God of love and peace will be with you” (2 Cor 13:11). In all this, I do not detect Paul pushing for an unrealistic uniformity. The apostle is not necessarily offended by the existence of differences but by such preferences being expressed in aggressive and competitive fashions.
