Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

But if you bite and devour one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.

If any of you has a dispute against another, how dare you take it to court before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?Or don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the trivial cases?Don’t you know that we will judge angels— how much more matters of this life?So if you have such matters, do you appoint as your judges those who have no standing in the church?I say this to your shame! Can it be that there is not one wise person among you who is able to arbitrate between fellow believers?Instead, brother goes to court against brother, and that before unbelievers!As it is, to have legal disputes against one another is already a defeat for you.

He is such a worthless fool nobody can talk to him!”

Arrogance leads to nothing but strife, but wisdom is gained by those who take advice.

What is the source of wars and fights among you? Don’t they come from your passions that wage war within you?You desire and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and wage war. You do not have because you do not ask.

For I fear that perhaps when I come I will not find you to be what I want, and you may not find me to be what you want. Perhaps there will be quarreling, jealousy, angry outbursts, selfish ambitions, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

For to begin with, I hear that when you come together as a church there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

These are the family records of Jacob. At seventeen years of age, Joseph tended sheep with his brothers. The young man was working with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives, and he brought a bad report about them to their father.
