Don't do anything from selfish ambition or from a cheap desire to boast, but be humble toward one another, always considering others better than yourselves.

In the morning you will see the dazzling light of the LORD's presence. He has heard your complaints against him---yes, against him, because we are only carrying out his instructions."

Then Moses said, "It is the LORD who will give you meat to eat in the evening and as much bread as you want in the morning, because he has heard how much you have complained against him. When you complain against us, you are really complaining against the LORD."

"How much longer are these wicked people going to complain against me? I have heard enough of these complaints!

They stayed in their tents and grumbled and would not listen to the LORD.

They took their money and started grumbling against the employer.

It could have been sold for more than three hundred silver coins and the money given to the poor!" And they criticized her harshly.

Some time later, as the number of disciples kept growing, there was a quarrel between the Greek-speaking Jews and the native Jews. The Greek-speaking Jews claimed that their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution of funds.

We must not complain, as some of them did---and they were destroyed by the Angel of Death.

Do not complain against one another, my friends, so that God will not judge you. The Judge is near, ready to appear.

Open your homes to each other without complaining.

These people are always grumbling and blaming others; they follow their own evil desires; they brag about themselves and flatter others in order to get their own way.

Arrogance causes nothing but trouble. It is wiser to ask for advice.

Better to eat vegetables with people you love than to eat the finest meat where there is hate.

Hot tempers cause arguments, but patience brings peace.

They came to Capernaum, and after going indoors Jesus asked his disciples, "What were you arguing about on the road?"

But they would not answer him, because on the road they had been arguing among themselves about who was the greatest.

Paul and Barnabas got into a fierce argument with them about this, so it was decided that Paul and Barnabas and some of the others in Antioch should go to Jerusalem and see the apostles and elders about this matter.

After a long debate Peter stood up and said, "My friends, you know that a long time ago God chose me from among you to preach the Good News to the Gentiles, so that they could hear and believe.

There was a sharp argument, and they separated: Barnabas took Mark and sailed off for Cyprus,

Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody.

Welcome those who are weak in faith, but do not argue with them about their personal opinions.

I urge you, my friends: watch out for those who cause divisions and upset people's faith and go against the teaching which you have received. Keep away from them!

By the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ I appeal to all of you, my friends, to agree in what you say, so that there will be no divisions among you. Be completely united, with only one thought and one purpose.

Let me put it this way: each one of you says something different. One says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Peter"; and another, "I follow Christ."

because you still live as the people of this world live. When there is jealousy among you and you quarrel with one another, doesn't this prove that you belong to this world, living by its standards?

After all, who is Apollos? And who is Paul? We are simply God's servants, by whom you were led to believe. Each one of us does the work which the Lord gave him to do:

I am afraid that when I get there I will find you different from what I would like you to be and you will find me different from what you would like me to be. I am afraid that I will find quarreling and jealousy, hot tempers and selfishness, insults and gossip, pride and disorder.

But if you act like wild animals, hurting and harming each other, then watch out, or you will completely destroy one another.

We must not be proud or irritate one another or be jealous of one another.

Get rid of all bitterness, passion, and anger. No more shouting or insults, no more hateful feelings of any sort.

Instead, be kind and tender-hearted to one another, and forgive one another, as God has forgiven you through Christ.

Treat them with the greatest respect and love because of the work they do. Be at peace among yourselves.

See that no one pays back wrong for wrong, but at all times make it your aim to do good to one another and to all people.

Whoever teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the teaching of our religion

and constant arguments from people whose minds do not function and who no longer have the truth. They think that religion is a way to become rich.

Try to be at peace with everyone, and try to live a holy life, because no one will see the Lord without it.

Human anger does not achieve God's righteous purpose.

But if in your heart you are jealous, bitter, and selfish, don't sin against the truth by boasting of your wisdom.

Where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is also disorder and every kind of evil.

And goodness is the harvest that is produced from the seeds the peacemakers plant in peace.

Where do all the fights and quarrels among you come from? They come from your desires for pleasure, which are constantly fighting within you.

You must turn away from evil and do good; you must strive for peace with all your heart.
