Hatred stirs up strife, but love overlooks all offenses. | Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. |
A perverse man sows strife, and a tale-bearer destroys close friendships. | A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. |
It is honorable to avoid strife, but every fool is quarrelsome. | It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling. |
The lips of a fool cause strife, and his mouth provokes a flogging. | A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. |
An ignorant man causes strife by his insolence, but wisdom is found with those who take advice. | Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. |
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. | 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. |
For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there will also be disharmony and every type of wickedness. | For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. |
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vanity, but humbly regard others as better than yourselves. | Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. |
