20 For lack of wood the fire goes out,
and where there is no ^lwhisperer, ^mquarreling ceases.

so is ⁿa quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
22 ^oThe words of ^pa whisperer are like delicious morsels;
they go down into the inner parts of the body.

1 Timothy 6:3-5

3 If anyone ^rteaches a different doctrine and does not agree with ^sthe sound ^{▼▼Or healthy} words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching ^uthat accords with godliness, 4 ^vhe is puffed up with conceit and ^wunderstands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for ^xcontroversy and for ^yquarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, 5 and constant friction among people ^zwho are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, ^aaimagining that godliness is a means of gain.

James 3:14-16

14 But if you have bitter ^abjealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not ^acthe wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, ^addemonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.
