How to Prevent Quarrels
C. Colton. Genesis 13:5-9 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.… In most quarrels there is a fault on both sides. A quarrel may be compared to a spark, which cannot be produced without a flint as well as a steel; either of them may hammer on wood forever, no fire will follow. Two things, well considered, would prevent many quarrels; first, to have it well ascertained whether we are not disputing about terms, rather than things; and secondly, to examine whether that on which we differ is worth contending about. (C. Colton.) Parallel Verses KJV: And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. WEB: Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
