But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for no one who does a miracle in My name can quickly speak evil of Me.
Let this be the reward of my accusers from the Lord, and of those who speak evil against my soul.
John answered Him, “Teacher, we saw one who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us.”
For he who is not against us is for us.
Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed!” And no one can say, “Jesus is the Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
But I bring and keep my body under subjection, lest when preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached. And in this I rejoice. Indeed, I will rejoice.
