28 Truly do I say to you, All sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and the blasphemies wherewith they shall blaspheme;
Indeed, I say to you, that though all other sins in the sons of men are pardonable, and whatever slanders they shall utter;
29 but he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath no forgiveness forever, but is exposed to everlasting sin.— (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
whosoever shall speak slanderously against the Holy Spirit, shall never be pardoned, but be liable to eternal punishment. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
