"to cut apart, divide in two," is used metaphorically in Matthew 10:35 , "to set at variance."
Notes: (1) In Galatians 5:20 , AV, eris, "strife" (RV), is rendered "variance." (2) For adiakritos, James 3:17 , RV, "without variance" (marg., "doubtfulness, or partiality"), AV, "without partiality" (marg., "without wrangling"), see PARTIAL.
