James 3:14-18
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic.For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace loving, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial, free of hypocrisy.And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

1 Corinthians 3 3-1 Corinthians 3 5
for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like ordinary people?For when one person says,“ I am with Paul,” and another,“ I am with Apollos,” are you not ordinary people?What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.
