Strife
A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth
strife. (Proverbs 15:18)
Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose
bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife. (Proverbs
30:33)
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in
chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. (Romans 13:13)
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let
each esteem other better than themselves. (Philippians 2:3)
Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all
honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. And they that
have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren;
but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of
the benefit. These things teach and exhort. If any man teach otherwise, and
consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to
the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but
doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife,
railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and
destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw
thyself. (1 Timothy 6:1-5)
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the
wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be
intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without
hypocrisy. (James 3:16-17) |
