'Rivalry' in the Bible

I have seen that every labor and every skill which is done is the result of rivalry between a man and his neighbor. This too is vanity and striving after wind.

In writing this much, brethren, with special reference to Apollos and myself, I have done so for your sakes, in order to teach you by our example what those words mean, which say, "Nothing beyond what is written!" --so that you may cease to take sides in boastful rivalry, for one teacher against another.

For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you not to be as I wish, and that you may find me not as you wish—that perhaps there may be strife, jealousy, angry tempers, disputes, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder;

the one, indeed, of rivalry the Christ do proclaim, not purely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds,

the others proclaim Christ out of rivalry, not sincerely, seeking to cause me anxiety in my imprisonment.

he is a conceited person and does not understand anything. He has an unhealthy craving for arguments and debates. This produces jealousy, rivalry, slander, evil suspicions,

But if you have bitter jealousy and rivalry in your hearts, stop boasting and slandering the truth.
