Recall Paul’s words to the Philippians, “I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel” (Phil. 4:2-3). Can you imagine how embarrassed these two women must have been the first time this letter was read aloud before whole congregation?! Whatever the nature of their feud, it was already public enough that Paul had no reservations about addressing it publicly. Sometimes that’s the best course of action.
