17 Bible Verses about Confrontation

13. James 4:6 — “But He gives more grace. Therefore, it says, ‘God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.’"

14. 2 Timothy 2:23-24 — “Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil.”

15. Proverbs 29:11 - “A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.”

16. Colossians 3:13 - “Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.”

17. Titus 3:10 - “As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him…”

We see that confrontation is not a bad thing and can be viewed through a wholesome, biblical lens with redemptive intentions and results. It often must happen out of care and concern because of relationships. If it is well received it can make a powerfully positive impact. If it is not, at least the issue was brought to light. May God strengthen us to confront or to receive confrontation based on the guidelines in His word.
