Paul continues his exhortation regarding the importance of a church family system characterized by humble togetherness The "therefore" clearly links the thought of 2:1-11 with the preceding thoughts. I see the connection back in 1:27-28a. Paul has just made the argument that the holy life of God's people acts as a sign - both to unbelievers, and to themselves - a sign of destruction or salvation. With that in mind, Paul drives home now, in 2:1-11, the importance of their unity. For if truly eternal issues are at stake, then since there is such indisputable truth in Christ (vs. 1), then we are to live the unity that 1:27-28a call for, and 2:2-3 reiterate.
