EUODIA ū ō’ dī ə (Εὐοδία, G2337, prosperous journey, success; KJV EUODIAS, ū ō’ dī es, takes it as a masc. name, but the fem. pronoun “them” [αὐταῖς] in Phil 4:2, 3 demands that both names be fem.). A Christian woman in Philippi whom Paul asked to be reconciled to Syntyche.

Clearly both were influential women in the Philippian church, where women were prominent from the beginning (Acts 16:12-15). The cause of their disagreement, whether doctrinal or personal, is unknown, but obviously it had become chronic.

Paul’s impartial appeal for reconciliation implies that both were responsible for the estrangement. He realized that outside help was needed and asked his “true yokefellow” (σὐζυγος) to assist them. Paul commended the two women as having “labored side by side in the gospel.” See Yokefellow.
