I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to live in harmony in the Lord. Indeed, true companion, I ask you also to help these women who have shared my struggle in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.” Philippians 4:1-5.

Stand firm in the Lord. Live in harmony in the Lord. Rejoice in the Lord. Notice that we do all these things “in the Lord“. “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.” Ephesians 6:10
Psalm 31:24
“Be strong and let your heart take courage, All you who hope in the LORD.”
Psalm 32:10
“Many are the sorrows of the wicked, But he who trusts in the LORD, lovingkindness shall surround him.”
Psalm 32:11
“Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.”
Psalm 33:1 “Sing for joy in the LORD, O you righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright.”
Psalm 35:9
“And my soul shall rejoice in the LORD; It shall exult in His salvation.”
In conclusion, when we do these things “in the Lord”, not only are we strong, we appear gentle to others and fulfill the command: “Let your gentle spirit be known to all men.” Verse 5. “My soul will make its boast in the LORD; The humble will hear it and rejoice.” Psalm 34:2
