- Hatred stirs up strife,
but love overlooks all offenses. - A perverse man sows strife,
and a tale-bearer destroys close friendships. - It is honorable to avoid strife,
but every fool is quarrelsome. - The lips of a fool cause strife,
and his mouth provokes a flogging. - An ignorant man causes strife by his insolence,
but wisdom is found with those who take advice. - Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you previously, that no one who does such things will inherit the kingdom of God.
- For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there will also be disharmony and every type of wickedness.
- Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vanity, but humbly regard others as better than yourselves.
A wise son brings joy to his father,
but a foolish son gives grief to his mother. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her in order to sanctify her by cleansing her with water and the word.Next verse!With image
