Scriptures
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
1 Peter 5:8 (NIV)
A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle.
Proverbs 18:9 (ESV)
…Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. And Abel also brought an offering – fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So, Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
Genesis 4: 2-5 (NIV)
By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings.
Hebrews 11:4 (NIV)
The entrance of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.
Psalm 119:130 (NKJV)
I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
John 8:12 (NIV)
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4:2-3 (NIV)
Do not pay attention to every word that people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you. For you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others.”
Ecclesiastes 7:21-22 (NIV)
Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people. But love your neighbour as yourself. I am the LORD.
Leviticus 19:18 (NIV)
Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.
1 John 3:15 (NIV)
Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offence.
Proverbs 19:11 (ESV)
Jesus said to his disciples. “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble. So, watch yourselves. If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying, ‘I repent’, you must forgive them.”
Luke 17:1-4 (NIV)
Great peace have those who love your law. And nothing can make them stumble.
Psalm 119:165
