Are there any men left?

 
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
---I CORINTHIANS 16.13

The land of Egypt [is] before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest [any] men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle. ---GENESIS 47.6

UPDATE:  Something just came to my mind here from the scriptures (The Holy Bible--Authorized Version) and it is this:

Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.  ---I CORINTHIANS 14.20

Something just came to my mind and it was this verse above.  I went to look it up and you can too here:  http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=1Cr&c=14&t=KJV#20
