Be of One Mind   1 comment

… be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

Be of the same mind one toward another. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

(The Bible – KJV: Romans 12: 2, 10, 16, 18)

For still Thy presence is with me,
And Thou dost give me peace.
