I tell you sins will be forgiven of the sons of men, and their evil talk will be forgiven. But whoever speaks evil and defames Holy Spirit will not be forgiven but is guilty of an eternal sin.

He who speaks against the Son of man will be forgiven. However he who blasphemes against Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
