Mark 3:29

29 But whoever curses the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. He is guilty of an everlasting sin."

Mark 3:29 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 3:29

But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost
Against his person, and the works performed by him, by ascribing them to diabolical power and influence, as the Scribes did,

hath never forgiveness:
there is no pardon provided in the covenant of grace, nor obtained by the blood of Christ for such persons, or ever applied to them by the Spirit;

but is in danger of eternal damnation.
The Vulgate Latin reads it, and so it is read in an ancient copy of Beza's, guilty of an eternal sin; a sin which can never be blotted out, and will never be forgiven, but will be punished with everlasting destruction; (See Gill on Matthew 12:32).
