Submit yourselves to God

4 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?

⁹ With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness.

¹¹ Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister^[a] or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.
