1 Corinthians 3 3
because you are still fleshly. For since there is envy and strife among you, are you not fleshly and living like unbelievers?

James 3:14-4:3
But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t brag and deny the truth.Such wisdom does not come from above but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.For where envy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every kind of evil.But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy.And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who cultivate peace.What is the source of wars and fights among you? Don’t they come from the cravings that are at war within you?You desire and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. You do not have because you do not ask.You ask and don’t receive because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your evil desires.

2 Corinthians 12 20
For I fear that perhaps when I come I will not find you to be what I want, and I may not be found by you to be what you want; there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

2 Corinthians 11 20
In fact, you put up with it if someone enslaves you, if someone devours you, if someone captures you, if someone dominates you, or if someone hits you in the face.

1 Corinthians 6 6-1 Corinthians 6 8
Instead, believer goes to court against believer, and that before unbelievers!Therefore, to have legal disputes against one another is already a moral failure for you. Why not rather put up with injustice? Why not rather be cheated?Instead, you act unjustly and cheat— and you do this to believers!

Philippians 3:2
Watch out for“ dogs,” watch out for evil workers, watch out for those who mutilate the flesh.

Isaiah 11:5-9
Righteousness will be a belt around His loins; faithfulness will be a belt around His waist.The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the goat. The calf, the young lion, and the fatling will be together, and a child will lead them.The cow and the bear will graze, their young ones will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.An infant will play beside the cobra’s pit, and a toddler will put his hand into a snake’s den.None will harm or destroy another on My entire holy mountain, for the land will be as full of the knowledge of the Lord as the sea is filled with water.

Isaiah 9:20-21
They carve meat on the right, but they are still hungry; they have eaten on the left, but they are still not satisfied. Each one eats the flesh of his own arm.Manasseh is with Ephraim, and Ephraim with Manasseh; together, both are against Judah. In all this, His anger is not removed, and His hand is still raised to strike.
-
Isaiah 11:13
Ephraim’s envy will cease; Judah’s harassment will end. Ephraim will no longer be envious of Judah, and Judah will not harass Ephraim.

2 Samuel 2 26-2 Samuel 2 27
Then Abner called out to Joab:“ Must the sword devour forever? Don’t you realize this will only end in bitterness? How long before you tell the troops to stop pursuing their brothers?”“ As God lives,” Joab replied,“ if you had not spoken up, the troops wouldn’t have stopped pursuing their brothers until morning.”
