“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger” (Proverbs 15:1, TNIV)

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?

Matthew 7:3-5

Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

Philippians 2:4(NLT)

23 “So if you are presenting a sacrifice[a] at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, 24 leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God.

Matthew 5:23-24 (NLT)

1. What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 

2. You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.

James 4:1-2 (NLT)

18. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 

19. that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 

2 Corinthians 5:18-19 (NLT)

And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

1 Peter 5:5 (NLT)

13 Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the Lord, who had spoken to her. She said, “You are the God who sees me.” She also said, “Have I truly seen the One who sees me?” 

14 So that well was named Beer-lahai-roi (which means “well of the Living One who sees me”). It can still be found between Kadesh and Bered.

12. When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.
