3 It is an honor for a man to (A)keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarreling.
14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so (A)quit before the quarrel breaks out.
11 (A)Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.
32 (A)Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
29 Whoever is (A)slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.
4 What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions[a] are (A)at war within you?[b]
14 But if you have bitter (A)jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.
6 A fool's lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites (A)a beating.
32 (A)Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, (B)forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
5 (C)Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.
