Bible verses about "quarrelsome" | Whiston

¹ This [is] a human word, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. ² A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; ³ Not given to wine, no striker, but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; ⁴ One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; ⁵ For if a man know 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 judgment of the devil. ⁷ Moreover, he must have a good report of them who are without; lest he fall into reproach, and into the snare of the devil. ⁸ Likewise let the deacons [be] grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre, ⁹ Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. ¹⁰ And let these also first be proved; and thus let them use the office of a deacon, being blameless. ¹¹ Even so let the wives [be] grave, not slanderers, sober, 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, purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith, which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁴ These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: ¹⁵ But if I tarry long, that thou mayst know how thou oughtest to behave thy self in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. ¹⁶ And without controversy, great is the mystery [of the word]of godliness: who was manifested in the flesh, justified in Spirit, seen of angels, preached among Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory.

²² Wives, submit your selves 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: He [is] the Saviour of the body. ²⁴ Therefore as the church is subject unto the Lord, so [let] the wives [be] to the 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 himself present it 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 body: he that loveth his wife, loveth himself. ²⁹ For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ 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, That every one of you in particular may love his wife even as himself; and that the wife reverence [the] husband.

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

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

¹ From whence [are] wars and whence fightings among you? [are they] not hence, of your lusts, that war in your members?

²⁴ And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be an infant unto all men, apt to teach, patient, ²⁵ In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure 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.
