Romans 15:5-7
5 Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, 6 that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.

God gives comfort and patience to us as we bear with the weaknesses and scruples of others still maturing in Christ in various areas. So we are to be of a like mind together as Christ suffered and bears long with us. If we so accept each other as Christ does us, without judgment but in grace and mercy, then together we are able to give all the glory to God in Him. As a body which is the totality of all regenerated followers of Christ, the church, we are so to work together as we mature in the truth and life imitating Him and growing into His likeness.
