I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? By no means; but by their fall the nations have salvation to excite them to emulation.

If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and lasciviousness, not in strife and emulation.

for ye are yet carnal. For whereas there are among you emulation and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk according to man?

But since there is emulation among you concerning spiritual gifts, seek to abound in the exercise of such gifts as tend most to the edification of the church.

For I am afraid least when I come, I should not find you such as I could wish, and I should be found to you such as ye would not: least there should be contentions, emulations, animosities, strifes, thwartings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: and least,

Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

emulations, wraths, strifes, divisions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of which I tell you before (as I have also told you in time past) that they who practise such things, shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

but if ye have bitter emulation and strife in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.

For where emulation and strife are, there is disorder and every evil thing.
