Filipenses 2:2
And they have always agreed with each other, and been at peace among themselves, and listened to each other. On account of this, they joyfully dwell together. — Shepherd of Hermas, Vision 3
Filipenses 2:7
"Why, sir," I asked, "is the Son of God in the parable in the form of a slave?" "Hear," he answered: "the Son of God is not in the form of a slave, but in great power and might." "How so, sir?" I said; "I do not understand." "Because," he answered, "God planted the vineyard, that is to say, He created the people, and gave them to His Son; and the Son appointed His angels over them to keep them; and He Himself purged away their sins, having suffered many trials and undergone many labours, for no one is able to dig without labour and toil. He Himself, then, having purged away the sins of the people, showed them the paths of life by giving them the law which He received from His Father. [You see," he said, "that He is the Lord of the people, having received all authority from His Father.]" — Shepherd of Hermas, Similitude 5
