KJV Translation Count — Total: 7x
The KJV translates Strong's G2052 in the following manner: strife (5x), contention (1x), contentious (with G1537) (1x).

  1. electioneering or intriguing for office

    1. apparently, in the NT a courting distinction, a desire to put one's self forward, a partisan and factious spirit which does not disdain low arts

    2. partisanship, factiousness

      This same word was "found before NT times only in Aristot., Polit. 5, 3 p. 1302b, 4; 1303a, 14, where it denotes a self-seeking pursuit of political office by unfair means" (BDAG).

      Paul exhorts the church to be one in the mind of Christ not putting self forward or being selfish (Phl 2:3). Jam 3:14 speaks against having selfishness or self-promoting in your heart. (Wayne Steury)

STRONGS G2052:
ἐριθεία (not ἐρίθεια, cf. Winers Grammar § 6, 1 g.; [Chandler § 99]) (-θια WH; see Ι, ι and Tdf. Proleg., p. 88], -είας, ἡ, (ἐριθεύω to spin wool, work in wool, Heliodorus 1, 5; middle in the same sense, Tobit 2:11; used of those who electioneer for office, courting popular applause by trickery and low arts, Aristotle, polit. 5, 3; the verb is derived from ἔριθος working for hire, a hireling; from the Maced. age down, a spinner or weaver, a worker in wool, Isaiah 38:12 Sept.; a mean, sordid fellow), electioneering or intriguing for office, Aristotle, pol. 5, 2 and 3 [pp. 1302b, 4 and 1303a, 14]; hence, apparently, in the N. T. a courting distinction, a desire to put oneself forward, a partisan and factious spirit which does not disdain low arts; partisanship, factiousness: James 3:14, 16; κατ’ ἐριθείαν, Philippians 2:3; Ignatius ad Philadelph. § 8; οἱ ἐξ ἐριθείας (see ἐκ, II. 7), Philippians 1:16 (Philippians 1:17) [yet see ἐκ, II. 12 b.]; equivalent to contending against God, Romans 2:8 [yet cf. Meyer (edited by Weiss) at the passage]; in the plural αἱ ἐριθείαι [Winers Grammar § 27, 3; Buttmann, § 123, 2]: 2 Corinthians 12:20; Galatians 5:20. See the very full and learned discussion of the word by Fritzsche in his Commentary on Romans, i., p. 143f; [of which a summary is given by Ellicott on Galatians 5:20. See further on its derivation, Lobeck, Path. Proleg., p. 365; cf. Winer's Grammar, 94 (89)].
