For whereas

For it has been revealed to me concerning you, my brethren, by those who are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

Which one of you having a matter dares to go to law with another before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

For in the first place, indeed you coming together, I hear that there are schisms among you; and I in part believe it.

For I fear lest, having come, I may not find you as I wish, and may not be found by you as you wish; lest perhaps strife, jealousy, animosities, selfseekings, calumniations, eavesdroppings, inflations, outfallings, are among you;

But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you may not be consumed one of another.

For where there are envy and strife, there are contention and every evil work.

Whence come wars and whence come battles within you? are they not from thence, from your pleasures warring in your members?

And walk

For within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil reasonings, adulteries, fornications, murders,

in which at one time you walked about according to the age of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit which is now working in the sons of disobedience;

that with reference to your former life, you are to lay aside the old man, who is corrupt in the lusts of deception;

For when we also were without understanding, being disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in sin and envy, hateful, hating one another;

that he may no longer live the remaining time in carnality according to the lusts of men, but in the will of God.
