Mark 3:27-29
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
27 But no one can enter a strong man’s house to plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house. 28 Amen, I say to you, all sins and all blasphemies that people utter will be forgiven them.(A) 29 But whoever blasphemes against the holy Spirit[a] will never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an everlasting sin.”

- 3:29 Whoever blasphemes against the holy Spirit: this sin is called an everlasting sin because it attributes to Satan, who is the power of evil, what is actually the work of the holy Spirit, namely, victory over the demons.
