Euodia & Syntyche

Two Christian ladies in the church in Philippi whom Paul urged "to be of the same mind in the Lord" (Phil 4:2). The nature of the differences between them cannot be ascertained. Neither does the rest of the New Testament shed any light on the two ladies.

Theodore of Mopsuestia claimed to have heard rumours in his time that Syntyche should have been spelled as the masculine Syntyches and suggesting that Syntyches and Euodia were husband and wife. There is, however, no evidence of any kind to support Theodore's rumour.
