Matthew 12:31

The Unpardonable Sin

30He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.31Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.32Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.
