6 THE FORCES OF EVIL (cont'd)
And be not afraid of them which
kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which
is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for
a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your
Father: but the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not
therefore; ye are of more value than many sparrows. Every one therefore who
shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father which
is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny
before my Father which is in heaven.
m1028-33/l1204-9
And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will
build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
m1618
And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
because ye say that I cast out devils by Beelzebub. And if I by Beelzebub
cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be
your judges. But if I by the finger of God cast out devils, then is the
kingdom of God come upon you. When the strong man fully armed guardeth his
own court, his goods are in peace: but when a stronger than he shall come
upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him his whole armour wherein he
trusted, and divideth his spoils. He that is not with me is against me; and
he that gathereth not with me scattereth. The unclean spirit when he is gone
out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest; and finding
none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out. And when
he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to
him seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and dwell
there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first.
l1118-26/m1226-45/k0326-7
These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the
world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
