There Is An Old Legend That Tells Of Hercules Encountering A Strange Animal On A Narrow Road!

Rom 1:29  Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

There is an old legend that tells of Hercules encountering a strange animal on a narrow road.   

He struck it with his club and passed along.

Soon the animal overtook him-now three times as large as before.

Hercules struck it fast and furiously, but the more he clubbed the beast, the larger it grew!

Then Pallas appeared to Hercules and warned him to stop.

The monster's name is Strife, he said. "Let it alone and it will soon become as little as at first."

James 3:16  For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 

Col 3:12  Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
 

Col 3:13  Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
 

Col 3:14  And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
