quarrel in the bible
There are verses in the Bible that use the word contention to speak of discord. In the Book of Proverbs, Proverbs 6:16-19, there is a list of the seven things the Lord condemns, and one of them is "he who sows strife among brethren." The term appears in some translations, but it can also be "one who promotes discord".
