Bible verses about narcs

Since the ex-Psych was in the role of a teacher (and he thought writing about religion made him religious), these verses are relevant- 1 Timothy 6:3-8 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching which accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit, he knows nothing; he has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions, and wrangling among men who are depraved in mind and bereft of truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. There is great gain in godliness with contentment; for we brought nothing into the world and we cannot take anything out of the world; but if we have food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

I read this verse, and it helped me to not feel guilty about being a Christian wife who is having to pursue divorce from my NH. NH is Christian by confession, but his behavior is not one of a believer... otherwise I wouldn't be on this website! When well-meaning Christians try to convince me to "keep working on the relationship," not knowing how toxic and unhealthy it was, I remind myself that HE left the house months ago - I tried to stick it out based on my faith, and almost lost me in the process. (I know I have not written my story, I have been putting it off) 1 Corinthians 7:15 (Message Bible) "On the other hand, if the unbelieving spouse walks out, you've got to let him or her go. You don't have to hold on desperately. God has called us to make the best of it, as peacefully as we can."

another couple that have helped me: "do not argue with a fool" and " Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces". the bible is full of wisdom.

I have a hard time cutting off contact and ignoring him as I feel I am being a bitch, and I am a strong Christian with so much love to give. But I know God does not want us to be in relationship with such toxic, poisonous people....and I am so glad to get some scripture backing that up....I feel I have looked evil in the face too....and it's so comforting to know that God is my vindicator and not one thing has gotten by HIM!! I trust and believe that and it has given me more power to let go. Thanks for sharing!
