@acptulsa I'm glad you brought the topic of strife. Here are a few scriptures.
Avoiding strife brings a man honor, but every fool is quarrelsome. Proverbs 20:3
Whoever loves transgression loves strife; he who makes his door high seeks destruction. Proverbs 17:19
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21
Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers all transgressions. Proverbs 10:12
The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out. Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice. Proverbs 13:9-10
An arrogant man stirs up strife, But he who trusts in the Lord will prosper. Proverbs 28:25
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, But the slow to anger calms a dispute. Proverbs 15:18
A perverse man spreads strife, And a slanderer separates intimate friends. Proverbs 16:28
If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain. 1 Timothy 6:3-5
Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out, Even strife and dishonor will cease. Proverbs 22:10
