James 3:17
Galatians 5:22-23
1 Peter 2:21
21 this will conciliate the divine favour. and this is the condition of your vocation, since Christ himself has suffer'd for us,
Romans 14:19
19 Let us therefore pursue those things which tend to peace, and mutual edification.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
1 For tho' I should speak with the eloquence of men, and of angels, and not have social affection, I should be like sounding brass, or a noisy cymbal.
2 and tho' I should have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and tho' I had all the faith necessary to remove mountains, and had no benevolence, it would signify nothing.
3 and tho' I distribute my whole substance to the poor, and give my body to be burned, and have not social affection, it profits me nothing.
4 Social affection is patient, is kind; is a stranger to envy; is not insolently vain, nor arrogant: does not behave indecently,
5 is not self-interested, is not easily provoked, nor suspects any ill;
6 it does not countenance injustice, but smiles upon virtue;
7 it excuses all things, believes what is favourable, hopes for the best, and suffers the worst.
8 Social affection will never fail: but as for prophecies, they shall be out of use; as for languages, they shall cease; as for knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 for our knowledge is defective, and our prophesying is defective.
10 but when that which is perfect is come, then that which is defective shall be laid aside.
11 when I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I reasoned as a child: but when I became a man, I laid aside my childish ways.
12 now we do but indirectly see the faint images of things; but then the objects themselves will be before our eyes; now I have a partial knowledge, but then shall I know, even as I myself am known.
13 and now faith, hope, social virtue, these three will all remain; but the most permanent of the three is social virtue.
Romans 12:19
19 dear brethren, avenge not yourselves, but leave that to the resentment of another: for it is written, "vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."

Philippians 2:14
14 do every thing without murmuring and disputes:
