Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are notconvenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness,maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors ofevil things, disobedient to parents,

2 Corinthians 12:19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? wespeak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for youredifying.
20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would,and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates,envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and thatI shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented ofthe uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.

Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only usenot liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt lovethy neighbour as thyself.
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumedone of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lustof the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against theflesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot dothe things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication,uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions,heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the whichI tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they whichdo such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affectionsand lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envyingone another.

Philippians 2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

1 Thessalonians 4:9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I writeunto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
10 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia:but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to workwith your own hands, as we commanded you;

2 Thessalonians 3:11 For we hear that there are some which walk among youdisorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ,that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, andhave no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

1 Timothy 3:8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, notgiven to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of adeacon, being found blameless.
11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful inall things.

1 Timothy 5:11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun towax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house;and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things whichthey ought not.
14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide thehouse, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.

James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not histongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

James 3:3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obeyus; and we turn about their whole body.
4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven offierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoeverthe governor listeth.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold,how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue amongour members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the courseof nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of thingsin the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, whichare made after the similitude of God.

11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs?so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew outof a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, andlie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle,and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality,and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

James 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evilof his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeththe law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, buta judge.

1 Peter 2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies,and envies, all evil speakings,
