2 Corinthians 13:11
“Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.”
What does 2 Corinthians 13:11 mean?
Paul wraps up his letter to the Corinthian church with a heartfelt send-off, asking them to grow toward maturity, encourage one another, and stay unified in their thinking. The phrase "be of the same mind" doesn't mean everyone thinks identically, but rather that they share the same core values and purpose, grounded in their faith. He's essentially saying that when a community prioritizes growth, mutual support, and genuine peace with one another, God's presence becomes real and tangible in their midst, not as some distant reward but as the natural fruit of living rightly together.
