Mark 3:26
24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand.
25 If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand.
And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come.
27 Indeed, no one can enter a strong man’s house to steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house.
28 Truly I tell you, the sons of men will be forgiven all sins and blasphemies, as many as they utter.
