Paul begs her and Syntyche at Philippi to be of the same mind, so the two had fallen out. Both had worked beside him in the gospel. The King James spelling hides that the name is a woman's.

Who this is

A woman in the church at Philippi whom Paul urges to "be of the same mind" as another woman, Syntyche, indicating the two had fallen into some disagreement (Philippians 4:2). Paul says both women had struggled alongside him in spreading the gospel, evidence that women held visible, active roles in the Philippian church. The King James Version's spelling "Euodias" obscures that the name is feminine in the Greek.
