Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:

Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
