It reads in Philippians 4:3 NIV: Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.
Who was the “true yokefellow”, the true comrade, whom Paul was addressing in verse three? Perhaps Luke, or Silas, or a leading elder among the overseers of the saints in Philippi. What did Paul ask his true comrade to do? To help Euodia and Syntyche because these two women had assisted Paul in the work of spreading the Gospel.
