2 Timothy 2:23-24

23Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant acontroversies; you know that they breed quarrels. 24And bthe Lord’s servant ▼
▼Greek bondservant
 must not be quarrelsome but dkind to everyone, eable to teach, patiently enduring evil,

James 3:14-18

14But if you have bitter fjealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15This is not gthe wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, hdemonic. 16For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17But ithe wisdom from above is first pure, then jpeaceable, gentle, open to reason, kfull of mercy and good fruits, limpartial and msincere. 18And na harvest of righteousness ois sown in peace by those who make peace.
