But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and deny the truth.Such wisdom does not come down from above but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there is disorder and every evil practice.But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without pretense.And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who cultivate peace.

1 Corinthians 3 3-1 Corinthians 3 5
because you are still worldly. For since there is envy and strife among you, are you not worldly and behaving like mere humans?For whenever someone says,“ I belong to Paul,” and another,“ I belong to Apollos,” are you not acting like mere humans?What then is Apollos? What is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given.
