²⁷ If you want to break into the house of a strong man and plunder it, you have to bind him first. Then you can do whatever you want with his possessions. ²⁸ Listen, the truth is that people can be forgiven of almost anything. God has been known to forgive many things, even blasphemy. ²⁹ But speaking evil of the Spirit of God is an unforgivable sin that will follow you into eternity.
