For whereas

For it has been made clear to me concerning you, my brothers, by {Chloe's people}, that there are quarrels among you.

Does anyone among you, [if he] has a matter against someone else, dare to go to court before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

For in the first place, [when you] come together as a church, I hear there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

For I am afraid lest somehow [when I] arrive, I will not find you as I want, and I may be found by you as you do not want. [I am afraid] lest somehow [there will be] strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, pride, disorder.

But if you bite and devour one another, watch out [that] you are not consumed by one another.

For where [there is] jealousy and selfish ambition, there [is] disorder and every evil practice.

From where [are] conflicts and from where [are] quarrels among you? [Is it] not from this, from your pleasures that wage war among your members?

And walk

But like Adam, they transgressed [the] covenant; there they dealt faithlessly with me.

For from within, from the heart of people, come evil plans, sexual immoralities, thefts, murders,

in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience,

[that] you take off, according to your former way of life, the old man, who is being destroyed according to deceitful desires,

For we also were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, enslaved to various desires and pleasures, spending our lives in wickedness and envy, despicable, hating one another.

in order to live the remaining time in the flesh no longer for human desires, but for the will of God.

General references

Again there was a division among the Jews because of these words.

But if you bite and devour one another, watch out [that] you are not consumed by one another.
