nsb@Matthew:12:29 @ »How can one enter into the house of a strong man and steal his things, except he first tie up the strong man? Then he can rob his house.

nsb@Matthew:12:30 @ »He that is not with me is against me. And he that does not gather with me, scatters.

nsb@Matthew:12:35 @ »The good man performs good things out of his good treasure. The evil man performs evil things out of his evil treasure.

nsb@Matthew:12:36 @ »I tell you there will be an account in the Judgment Day for every careless word that men say.
