Proverbs 18:18

Better to dwell in the wilderness, Than with a contentious and angry woman.
Proverbs 21:19

It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
Proverbs 25:24

 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; 

and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, 

lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, 

jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,

Galatians 5:16-20

 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, 

to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, 

to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 

For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, 

deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, 

living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 

But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 

not by works of righteousness which we have done, 

but according to His mercy He saved us, 

through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 

whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 

that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs 

according to the hope of eternal life. 

This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, 

that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. 

These things are good and profitable to men. 

But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, 

nd strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. 

Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, 

knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.

Titus 3:1-11
