My Walk With Him: Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

What comes out of our mouth is a sign of what is in our heart so if we are quarreling, we have a heart issue. Additionally, quarreling is not Godly per Paul in his words to Timothy.
