On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The bonds of fraternal love were broken through. And a brother offended, as Solomon says, is harder to be won than a strong city; their contentions are like the bars of a castle, Prov. xviii. Note, Christians should not contend with one another, for they are brethren.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

And therefore, says the apostle, " Dare any of you, having a controversy with another, go to law, implead him, bring the matter to a hearing before the unjust?" Note, Christians should not dare to do any thing that tends to the reproach of their Christian name and profession.
