Matthew 12:28-30

MSG

NIV

28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
29 How in the world do you think it's possible in broad daylight to enter the house of an awake, able-bodied man and walk off with his possessions unless you tie him up first? Tie him up, though, and you can clean him out.
29 “Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.
30 "This is war, and there is no neutral ground. If you're not on my side, you're the enemy; if you're not helping, you're making things worse.
30 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
