Quarrels

A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

• Tender
• Heart

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.

The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.

It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

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.
