Luke 14:29

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him,

See the chapter Copy

and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”

For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?

saying, ‘This man began to build, and was not able to finish.’

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
