contention Only by pride cometh {contention}: but with the well advised [is] wisdom. contention The beginning of strife [is as] when one letteth out water: therefore leave off {contention}, before it be meddled with. contention A fool's lips enter into {contention}, and his mouth calleth for strokes. contention Cast out the scorner, and {contention} shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease. contention Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of {contention} to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth curse me. contention Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause [me] to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence [are] before me: and there are [that] raise up strife and {contention}. contention And the {contention} was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus; contention The one preach Christ of {contention}, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: contention <1TH2 -2> But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much {contention}. ~~~~~~
