This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Now the God of patience and consolation: he is called, the God of all grace, 1Pe_5:10, the God of hope, Rom_15:13, the God of peace, Rom_15:33, the God of love and peace, 2Co_13:11, and here, the God of patience and consolation: the meaning is, he is the author and worker thereof. You read in the former verse of the patience and comfort of the Scriptures; and here he showeth that the Scriptures do not work these of themselves, but God doth it in and by them.
Grant you to be like-minded one towards another; this is that to which he had exhorted them, Rom_12:16. See the like, 1Co_1:10 2Co_13:11 Eph_4:3 Phi_2:2. God is the author, as of patience and consolation, so of peace and concord: the grace of unity and charity is his gift; he maketh men of one mind and of one heart, and for this he should be inquired of by his saints and people to do it for them.
According to Christ Jesus; i.e. according to his doctrine, command, or example.
