Exegesis
Finally, the prepositional phrase kata Christon Iēsoun {κατὰ Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν | ka-tà Khris-tón Iē-soûn} introduces the standard or norm of this unity—“according to Christ Jesus,” that is, aligned with His character and pattern. In the translations, the optative nuance is rendered by “may” to preserve the prayerful tone, the articular infinitive is conveyed by “to think the same thing” and “to be of the same mind,” and the kata phrase is represented by “according to Christ Jesus” and “following Christ Jesus” to express conformity to His example.
In context — Romans 15:5
Now may the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to think the same thing among one another according to Christ Jesus .
