The next day Moses saw two Israelites fighting. He tried to make peace between them.‘ Men, you are both Israelites,’ he said.‘ Why do you want to hurt each other?’

Do everything without complaining or arguing.Then you will be pure and without blame. You will be children of God without fault among sinful and evil people. Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky.

When you take another believer to court, you have lost the battle already. Why not be treated wrongly? Why not be cheated?

Then Joseph sent his brothers away. As they were leaving he said to them,“ Don’t argue on the way!”

Suppose someone claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister. Then they are still in the darkness.Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light. There is nothing in them to make them fall into sin.But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness. They walk around in the darkness. They don’t know where they are going. The darkness has made them blind.

Do not be joined to unbelievers. What do right and wrong have in common? Can light and darkness be friends?

The people who took care of Abram’s herds and those who took care of Lot’s herds began to argue. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.So Abram said to Lot,“ Let’s not argue with each other. The people taking care of your herds and those taking care of mine shouldn’t argue with one another either. After all, we’re part of the same family.Isn’t the whole land in front of you? Let’s separate. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right. If you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.”

From the beginning we have heard that we should love one another.Don’t be like Cain. He belonged to the evil one. He murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because the things Cain had done were wrong. But the things his brother had done were right.My brothers and sisters, don’t be surprised if the world hates you.We know that we have left our old dead way of life. And we have entered into new life. We know this because we love one another. Anyone who doesn’t love still lives in their old condition.Anyone who hates their brother or sister is a murderer. And you know that no murderer has eternal life.

I said,“ Our Jewish brothers and sisters were sold to other nations. We’ve done everything we could to buy them back and bring them home. But look at what you are doing! You are actually selling your own people! Now we’ll have to buy them back too!” The people kept quiet. They couldn’t think of anything to say.So I continued,“ What you are doing isn’t right. Shouldn’t you show respect for our God? Shouldn’t you live in a way that will keep our enemies from saying bad things about us?

Suppose one of you wants to bring a charge against another believer. Should you take it to ungodly people to be judged? Why not take it to the Lord’s people?

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in peace!It’s like the special olive oil that was poured on Aaron’s head. It ran down on his beard and on the collar of his robe.It’s as if the dew of Mount Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. There the Lord gives his blessing. He gives life that never ends.
