Romans 12:16 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Be of the same mind, &c.— Be entirely united in your regards for each other. Doddridge. Whitby paraphrases it, "Desire the same things for others, that you do for yourselves, and would have them desire for you." Dr. Heylin unites this with the preceding verse, and renders them as follows: Live in a mutual sympathy, so as to rejoice with those who are in joy, and compassionate those who are in grief. Do not aspire to high things, but be contented with mean things.

Romans 12:16

16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescendc to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
