'Contentions' in the Bible

The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.

A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city; and contentions are as the bars of a palace.

A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who contentions? Who complaining? Who wounds without cause? Who redness of eyes?

For I fear lest perhaps coming I find you not such as I wish, and that I be found by you such as ye do not wish: lest there might be strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, evil speakings, whisperings, puffings up, disturbances;

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion,

But foolish and senseless questionings avoid, knowing that they beget contentions.

But foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes, and contentions about the law, shun; for they are unprofitable and vain.
