Luke 11:17-26

171But He knewG3609 their thoughtsG1270 and saidG3004 to them, “EveryG3956 kingdomG932 dividedG1266 againstG1909 itselfG1438 is laidG2049 wasteG2049; and a houseG3624 divided againstG1909 2itselfG3624 fallsG4098. 18And ifG1487 3SatanG4567 alsoG2532 has been dividedG1266 againstG1909 himselfG1438, howG4459 will his kingdomG932 4standG2476? For you claimG3004 that I castG1544 outG1544 the demonsG1140 by 5BeelzebulG954. 19YetG1161 ifG1487 by 6BeelzebulG954 I castG1544 outG1544 the demonsG1140, by whomG5101 do your sonsG5207 castG1544 them outG1544? ThereforeG1223G3778, they will be your judgesG2923. 20But ifG1487 I castG1544 outG1544 the demonsG1140 by 7the 8fingerG1147 of GodG2316, thenG686 9the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 has comeG5348 upon you. 21WhenG3752 10a strongG2478 man, fullyG2528 armedG2528, guardsG5442 his ownG1438 houseG833, his possessionsG5225 are 11secureG1722G1515. 22But whenG1875 someone strongerG2478 than he attacksG1904 him and overpowersG3528 him, that man takesG142 awayG142 his armorG3833 on whichG3739 he had reliedG3982 and distributesG1239 his plunderG4661. 2312The one who is not with Me is againstG2596 Me; and the one who does not gatherG4863 with Me scattersG4650.

24“13WhenG3752 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151 comesG1831 outG1831 of 14a personG444, it passesG1330 throughG1223 waterlessG504 placesG5117 seekingG2212 restG372, and not findingG2147 any, it thenG5119 saysG3004, ‘I will returnG5290 to my houseG3624 fromG3606 whichG3606 I cameG1831.’ 25And when it comesG2064, it findsG2147 it sweptG4563 and putG2885 inG2885 orderG2885. 26ThenG5119 it goesG4198 and bringsG3880 alongG3880 sevenG2033 otherG2087 spiritsG4151 moreG4190 evilG4190 than itselfG1438, and they comeG1525 inG1525 and liveG2730 thereG1563; and the lastG2078 condition of that personG444 becomesG1096 worseG5501 than the firstG4413.”
