Smile paragraph (grammer correction and editing)

hey, can you plz correct this paragraph for grammer errors and punctuation errors..thanks

In arguments we won against Hawkins because of his idle talk, and Belcher won against us most likely for the same reason. Early in the morning Hawkins and noble started to disgrace one another about religion; although, Noble’s brother was a priest, Hawkins confused Nobel with doubts about his religion; also, these doubted arguments might have confused a high church official. Hawkins dishonored the holy subjects with his cursed tongue, making his arguments even worse. I never met anyone besides Hawkins whose arguments were full of foul language and cursing. He was a horrible man and difficult to argue with. He never put himself to work proving his laziness; also, he started to argue with the old women, when he found no one to argue with.

I've highlighted things you should look at carefully. You write quite smoothly otherwise.

although,Noble’s brother no comma needed here
work, proving I inserted a comma which was needed.

Looks good otherwise.
