TO BE AVOIDED
The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with. (Proverbs 17:1414The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with. (Proverbs 17:14))
It is an honor for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling. (Proverbs 20:33It is an honor for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling. (Proverbs 20:3))
Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbor hath put thee to shame. Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself; and discover not a secret to another: Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away. (Proverbs 25:8-108Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbor hath put thee to shame. 9Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself; and discover not a secret to another: 10Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away. (Proverbs 25:8‑10))
Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. (Matthew 5:2525Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. (Matthew 5:25))
