Bible verses about "quarrelsome" | KJ2000

²² Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. ²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. ²⁴ Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; ²⁶ That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, ²⁷ That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. ²⁸ So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself. ²⁹ For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord the church: ³⁰ For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they 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 in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she respect her husband.

¹ This is a true saying, If a man desires the office of a bishop, he desires a good work. ² A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; ³ Not given to wine, not violent, not greedy of money; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; ⁴ One that rules well his own house, having his children in subjection with all respect; ⁵ (For if a man knows not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) ⁶ Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. ⁷ Moreover he must have a good report of them who are outside; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. ⁸ Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of dishonest gain; ⁹ Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. ¹⁰ And let these also first be tested; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. ¹¹ Even so must their wives be serious, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. ¹² Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. ¹³ For they that have used the office of a deacon well gain for themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁴ These things write I unto you, hoping to come unto you shortly: ¹⁵ But if I tarry long, that you may know how you ought to behave yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. ¹⁶ And without doubt great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

¹⁵ A continual dripping on a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

² A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

²⁴ And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

²⁴ It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a contentious woman in a whole house.

¹ From where come wars and fightings among you? come they not from here, even of your lusts that war in your members?

²⁴ And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, ²⁵ In meekness instructing those that oppose them; if God perhaps will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; ²⁶ And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

¹⁹ It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and angry woman.
