²⁹ for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord -- the assembly,

⁸ for a man is not of a woman, but a woman `is' of a man,

⁹ for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;

¹⁴ and Laban saith to him, `Only my bone and my flesh `art' thou;' and he dwelleth with him a month of days.

¹ And all the tribes of Israel come unto David, to Hebron, and speak, saying, `Lo, we `are' thy bone and thy flesh;

¹³ And to Amasa say ye, Art not thou my bone and my flesh? Thus doth God do to me, and thus He doth add, if thou art not head of the host before me all the days instead of Joab.'
