- The fighting is not just attitudes and desires. Let’s jump down to verse 11. Do not speak evil against one another, brothers….Do you suppose that if there is carnal warfare going on in a church that there just might be evil talk? Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks
