A strife

And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken violently away,

and shepherds of Gerar strive with shepherds of Isaac, saying, 'The water is ours;' and he calleth the name of the well 'Strife,' because they have striven habitually with him;

Whence are wars and fightings among you? not thence -- out of your passions, that are as soldiers in your members?

And I say, 'Not good is the thing that ye are doing; in the fear of our God do ye not walk, because of the reproach of the nations our enemies?

All things do without murmurings and reasonings,

in wisdom walk ye toward those without, the time forestalling;

that ye may walk becomingly unto those without, and may have lack of nothing.

having your behaviour among the nations right, that in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, of the good works having beheld, they may glorify God in a day of inspection.
