3 Bible Tips: Avoiding Strife
Fighting, arguing, quarreling, heatedly disagreeing—whatever you call
it, strife is destructive to relationships. What tips does the Bible have
for avoiding strife? Here are three:
1. Love is an antidote to strife.
"Hatred stirs up quarrels, but love covers all offenses" (Proverbs 10:12,
New Living Translation throughout).
2. Humbly taking advice can help us avoid strife.
"Pride leads to arguments; those who take advice are wise" (Proverbs
13:10).
3. Being slow to anger is another antidote to strife.
"A hothead starts fights; a cool-tempered person tries to stop them"
(Proverbs 15:18).
