1 Timothy 6 3-1 Timothy 6 5
If someone spreads false teachings and does not agree with sound words( that is, those of our Lord Jesus Christ) and with the teaching that accords with godliness,he is conceited and understands nothing, but has an unhealthy interest in controversies and verbal disputes. This gives rise to envy, dissension, slanders, evil suspicions,and constant bickering by people corrupted in their minds and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a way of making a profit.

But false prophets arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.

I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree together, to end your divisions, and to be united by the same mind and purpose.For members of Chloe’s household have made it clear to me, my brothers and sisters, that there are quarrels among you.Now I mean this, that each of you is saying,“ I am with Paul,” or“ I am with Apollos,” or“ I am with Cephas,” or“ I am with Christ.”Is Christ divided? Paul wasn’t crucified for you, was he? Or were you in fact baptized in the name of Paul?
