And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom can not stand.

And if a house be divided against itself, that house can not stand.

She answered and said to him: Yes, Lord; and yd you can help me, for the little dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

He said to her, "If you can say that, go home; the demon has left your daughter."

Since you have eyes can you not see with them? Since you have ears can you not hear with them?

Everyone must be seasoned with fire. Salt is a good thing, but if salt loses its strength, how can you season it again?

Salt [is] good, but if the salt becomes deprived of its salt content, by what can you make it salty? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another."
