Variance: Contention; Strife.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, VARIANCE, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)

Variance:
"to cut apart, divide in two," is used metaphorically in Mat 10:35, "to set at variance."

(2) For adiakritos, Jam 3:17, RV, "without variance" (marg., "doubtfulness, or partiality"), AV, "without partiality" (marg., "without wrangling"), see PARTIAL.
