Two cannot quarrel when one will not.
A man of understanding is of a calm spirit.—Proverbs 17:27
Quarrels among believers in Jesus Christ bring dishonor to Him. They create wounds in our brothers and sisters, leaving scars. “It is honorable for a man to stop striving, since any fool can start a quarrel,” says Proverbs 20:3. And “He who has knowledge spares his words” (17:27).
How much better it is when we speak gentle words of peace, not angry words of strife!—Dave Egner
Like bullets flying through the air,
Our words can shatter peace;
The Spirit helps control the tongue,
And then the quarrels cease.—Egner
