24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot last.

25 And if a household is divided against itself, that household will not last.

26 So if Satan rebels against himself and is divided, he cannot last. That will be the end of him.

27 "No one can go into a strong man's house and steal his property. First he must tie up the strong man. Then he can go through the strong man's house and steal his property.
