- A froward man soweth strife:
and a whisperer separateth chief friends. - It is an honour for a man to cease from strife:
but every fool will be meddling. - Hatred stirreth up strifes:
but love covereth all sins. - A fool's lips enter into contention,
and his mouth calleth for strokes. - Only by pride cometh contention:
but with the well advised is wisdom. - For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
- Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
- Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:
but a broken spirit drieth the bones. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.Next verse!With image
