The Bible addresses the nature, causes, and consequences of quarrels, providing guidance on how believers should handle such situations. Old Testament References The Old Testament frequently addresses the issue of quarrels, often highlighting the destructive nature of strife and the wisdom in avoiding unnecessary disputes. Proverbs, a book known for its practical wisdom, offers several insights: · <a href="/proverbs/17-14.htm">Proverbs 17:14</a> states, "Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out." This verse emphasizes the importance of avoiding the initiation of conflict, as it can lead to greater destruction. · <a href="/proverbs/20-3.htm">Proverbs 20:3</a> advises, "It is honorable for a man to resolve a dispute, but any fool will quarrel." Here, the text underscores the virtue of seeking peace and resolution rather than engaging in foolish arguments. The account of Cain and Abel in <a href="/bsb/genesis/4.htm">Genesis 4</a> illustrates the tragic consequences of unresolved anger and jealousy, leading to the first murder. This narrative serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of allowing quarrels to escalate unchecked. New Testament Teachings The New Testament continues to address the issue of quarrels, particularly within the context of Christian community and relationships. The teachings of Jesus and the apostles emphasize reconciliation, forgiveness, and love as antidotes to conflict. · In <a href="/matthew/5-23.htm">Matthew 5:23-24</a> , Jesus instructs, "Therefore if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift." This passage highlights the priority of reconciliation over religious rituals, stressing the importance of resolving conflicts promptly. · The Apostle Paul, in his letters, frequently addresses the issue of quarrels within the early church. In <a href="/1_corinthians/1-10.htm">1 Corinthians 1:10</a> , he appeals to the believers, "I urge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction." Paul’s exhortation underscores the need for unity and harmony among Christians. · <a href="/james/4.htm">James 4:1-2</a> provides insight into the root causes of quarrels: "What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war within you? You crave what you do not have; you kill and covet, but are unable to obtain it. You quarrel and fight." This passage points to internal desires and selfishness as the source of many disputes. Practical Guidance The Bible offers practical guidance for dealing with quarrels, emphasizing the virtues of patience, humility, and love: · <a href="/ephesians/4-2.htm">Ephesians 4:2-3</a> encourages believers to "be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." This instruction calls for a spirit of gentleness and a commitment to maintaining peace within the community. · <a href="/colossians/3-13.htm">Colossians 3:13</a> advises, "Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." Forgiveness is presented as a crucial element in resolving disputes and preventing ongoing conflict. In summary, the biblical perspective on quarrels emphasizes the importance of avoiding unnecessary disputes, seeking reconciliation, and fostering a spirit of unity and love among believers. Through the teachings of both the Old and New Testaments, the Bible provides a framework for understanding and addressing conflicts in a manner that honors God and promotes peace.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
