Galatians 5:15
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

ἔτι γὰρ σαρκικοί ἐστε ὅπου γὰρ ἐν ὑμῖν ζῆλος καὶ ἔρις καὶ διχοστασίαι οὐχὶ σαρκικοί ἐστε καὶ κατὰ ἄνθρωπον περιπατεῖτε
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
εἰ δὲ ζῆλον πικρὸν ἔχετε καὶ ἐριθείαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν μὴ κατακαυχᾶσθε καὶ ψεύδεσθε κατὰ τῆς ἀληθείας
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
μὴ γινώμεθα κενόδοξοι ἀλλήλους προκαλούμενοι ἀλλήλοις φθονοῦντες
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
ἀνέχεσθε γὰρ εἴ τις ὑμᾶς καταδουλοῖ εἴ τις κατεσθίει εἴ τις λαμβάνει εἴ τις ἐπαίρεται εἴ τις ὑμᾶς εἰς πρόσωπον δέρει
For ye suffer, if a man bring into bondage, you if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
φοβοῦμαι γὰρ μήπως ἐλθὼν οὐχ οἵους θέλω εὕρω ὑμᾶς κἀγὼ εὑρεθῶ ὑμῖν οἷον οὐ θέλετε· μήπως ἔρεις ζῆλοι θυμοί ἐριθείαι καταλαλιαί ψιθυρισμοί φυσιώσεις ἀκαταστασίαι·
For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and I that shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
ἀλλὰ ἀδελφὸς μετὰ ἀδελφοῦ κρίνεται καὶ τοῦτο ἐπὶ ἀπίστων
But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
וַיִּגְזֹר עַל-יָמִין וְרָעֵב וַיֹּאכַל עַל-שְׂמֹאול וְלֹא שָׂבֵעוּ אִישׁ בְּשַׂר-זְרֹעוֹ יֹאכֵֽלוּ׃
And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
וְסָרָה קִנְאַת אֶפְרַיִם וְצֹרְרֵי יְהוּדָה יִכָּרֵתוּ אֶפְרַיִם לֹֽא-יְקַנֵּא אֶת-יְהוּדָה וִֽיהוּדָה לֹֽא-יָצֹר אֶת-אֶפְרָֽיִם׃
The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
Βλέπετε τοὺς κύνας βλέπετε τοὺς κακοὺς ἐργάτας βλέπετε τὴν κατατομήν
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
וְהָיָה צֶדֶק אֵזוֹר מָתְנָיו וְהָאֱמוּנָה אֵזוֹר חֲלָצָֽיו׃
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
וַיִּקְרָא אַבְנֵר אֶל-יוֹאָב וַיֹּאמֶר הֲלָנֶצַח תֹּאכַל חֶרֶב הֲלוֹא יָדַעְתָּה כִּֽי-מָרָה תִֽהְיֶה בָּאַֽחֲרוֹנָה וְעַד-מָתַי לֹֽא-תֹאמַר לָעָם לָשׁוּב מֵאַֽחֲרֵי אֲחֵיהֶֽם׃
Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
