say

a

word

against

the

Son

of

man

,

it

shall

be

forgiven

him

;

but

whosoever

shall

speak

against

the

Holy

Ghost

,

it

shall

not

be

forgiven

him

,

neither

in

this

world

nor

in

the

world

to

come

.

”

Also

according

to

Mark

:

“

All

sins

shall

be

forgiven

,

and

blasphemies

,

to

the

sons

of

men

;

but

whoever

shall

blaspheme

against

the

Holy

Ghost

,

it

shall

not

be

forgiven

him

,

but

he

shall

be

guilty

of

eternal

sin

.

”

Of

this

same

thing

in

the

first

book

of

Kings

:

“

If

a

man

sin

by

offending

against

a

man

,

they

shall

pray

the

Lord

for

him

;

but

if

a

man

sin

against

God

,

who

shall

pray

for

him

?
