Hi Dave
I say they are not Spiritual matches, but do appear to contradict at face-value, but not as to the context of the individual verses.
How about these verses? Do they compare to what you are asking?

Genesis 3:20-Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord make coats of skins, and clothed them.

Job 10:11-Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.

1Jn 2:15 Be not loving the world, neither that which is in the world. If ever anyone is loving the world, the love of the Father is not in him,

The question is:  Are these Spiritual matches, or no?  And why/why not?

Hi Dave,

There are always duality truths in scripture....absolute/relative, physical/spiritual, temporal/permanent, good/evil etc...

From the absolute, permanent viewpoint of God, the ‘world’ means the ‘Spiritual Man’ .
Father God loved His spiritual Man so much that He sent His son to die for Mankind. 

From the relative, temporal viewpoint of Man, the ‘world’ represents the ‘Physical Man’
Man is instructed not to love anything, especially the physical, that does not put God first in Man’s heart

My 2 cents :)
