Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings...
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
