Question:
Romans 12:16.  What does “be of the same mind one toward another” mean?

Answer:

“And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law… I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.  And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you” (1 Corinthians 9:20,22,23).  In following the instructions in this verse, we would be completely erasing our pride for the benefit of the gospel.  “My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons” (James 2:1).  People know when we are being condescending, and that attitude can tarnish our testimony.  All of this does not mean that we’re okay with what anyone thinks, but it does get rid of selfish pride.
