" In another letter : " I know that in proportion as man abandons the diet of flesh and blood , and observes that of fruit and grain , his spirit becomes purer , higher , and diviner . Now if there be such a person among you , mind , I do not say that there is , to him I may fairly reply : My friend , I am a man , and like other men , a creature of flesh and blood , and not ' of wood or stone , ' as Homer says ; and I have a family , yes , and sons , O Athenians , three in number , one almost a man , and two others who are still young ; and yet I will not bring any of them hither in order to petition you for an acquittal . " Forasmuch then , as the children are partakers of flesh and blood , He also Himself likewise took part of the same ; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death , that is , the devil . Ephesians 6:12 : " For we wrestle not against flesh and blood , but against principalities , against powers , against the rulers of the darkness of this world , against spiritual wickedness in high places . Howard Fast avoids the contrast by seeing Paine as flesh and blood , which are neither black nor white . " If you are made of flesh and blood , " his ghastly eyes glared on her , " do not stop me !

But in these lands [ Moslem countries ] , where it is a sign of contempt to come before dignitaries , not to mention before the king , wearing shoes , in their cities one must not enter a synagogue wearing shoes , since if one does not do so before a king of flesh and blood , all the more so before the King of Kings , the Holy One , blessed be He .
