Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this? 1 Corinthians 6:1-8 If any of you has a grievance against another, how dare he go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints! / Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?

James 3:14-16 But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth. / Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. / For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice. Jude 1:12-13 These men are hidden reefs in your love feasts, shamelessly feasting with you but shepherding only themselves.
