Bible verses about "quarrelsome" | RKJNT

¹ This is a true saying, If a man desires the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. ² An overseer must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, respectable, given to hospitality, able to teach; ³ Not given to wine, not combative, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money; ⁴ One who rules his own house well, having his children under control, commanding their respect in all ways; ⁵ (For if a man does not know how to manage his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) ⁶ Not a recent convert, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. ⁷ Moreover, he must have a good reputation among those who are outside; lest he fall into disgrace and the snare of the devil. ⁸ Deacons, likewise, must be serious, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for gain; ⁹ Holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. ¹⁰ Let these be tested first; then, if blameless, let them serve as deacons. ¹¹ In the same way, the women must be serious, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things. ¹² A deacon must be the husband of but one wife, ruling his children and his own house well. ¹³ For those who serve well in the office of deacon acquire for themselves a good standing, and great boldness in their faith in Christ Jesus. ¹⁴ These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly: ¹⁵ But if I tarry long, I write so you will know how you ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth. ¹⁶ And beyond question, great is the mystery of godliness: He was revealed in the flesh, vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

²² Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. ²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church, his body: and he himself is its saviour. ²⁴ Therefore, as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their own husbands in everything. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church, and gave himself up for her; ²⁶ That he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water through the word, ²⁷ That he might present her to himself a glorious church, without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that she should be holy and without blemish. ²⁸ So husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. ²⁹ For no man ever hated his own flesh; but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church: ³⁰ Because we are members of his body. ³¹ For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh. ³² This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. ³³ Nevertheless, let every one of you love his wife as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

²⁴ And the servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome; but kind to all, able to teach, forbearing,

¹ What causes strife and quarrels among you? do they not come from your passions, which are at war in your members?

²⁴ And the servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome; but kind to all, able to teach, forbearing, ²⁵ In gentleness correcting those who oppose him; that God might grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth; ²⁶ And that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
