# Now

This word is used here to mark a break in the main teaching. Here Paul starts to tell a new part of the teaching.

# may ... God ... grant

"I pray that ... God ... will grant"

# to be of the same mind with each other

Here to be of the "same mind" is a metonym that means to be in agreement with each other. Alternate translation: "to be in agreement with each other" or "to be united" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
