Luke 14:29

Twentieth Century New Testament 1904

For fear that, if he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish it, every one who sees it should begin to laugh at him,

See the chapter Copy

"You who 'destroy the Temple and build one in three days,' save yourself! If you are God's Son, come down from the cross!"

Why, which of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and reckon the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?--

And say 'Here is a man who began to build and was not able to finish!'

Put on the full armor of God, so that you may be able to stand your ground against the stratagems of the Devil.
