Phil 1
•27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner
worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come
and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I
will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving
together as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without
being frightened in any way by those who oppose you.
This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but
that you will be saved—and that by God.

Phil 2
•If you have any encouragement from being united with
Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with
the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then
make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the
same love, being one in spirit and purpose. 3 Do nothing
out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility
consider others better than yourselves. 4 Each of you
should look not only to your own interests, but also to
the interests of others.

Ps 133:1-3
1
How good and pleasant it is
when God’s people live together in unity!
2
It is like precious oil poured on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron’s beard,
down on the collar of his robe.
3
It is as if the dew of Hermon
were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the LORD bestows his blessing,
even life forevermore.
