Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
Ver. 10. That there be no divisions] To break unity in the Church is to cut asunder the very veins and sinews of the mystical body of Christ.
By the name of our Lord] Which is like to suffer by your dissensions, and whereof you ought to be as tender as of treading upon your parents that begat you.
Perfectly joined] Schisms disjoint men; yea, shake them out of their senses, and frighten them out of their wits, 2 Thessalonians 2:2. See Trapp on " 2Th 2:2 "
