I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. Which some professing have erred concerning the faith.
Grace be with thee.

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
