Mark 3:29

but he that shall blaspheme The sin, against which these words are a terrible but merciful warning, is not so much an act, as a stateof sin, on the part of one, who in defiance of light and knowledge, of set purposerejects, and not only rejects but perseveresin rejecting, the warnings of conscience, and the Grace of the Holy Spirit, who blinded by religious bigotry rather than ascribe a good work to the Spirit of Good prefer to ascribe it to the Spirit of Evil, and thus wilfully put "bitter for sweet" and "sweet for bitter," "darkness for light" and "light for darkness." Such a state if persevered in and not repented of excludes from pardon, for it is the sin unto deathspoken of in 1 John 5:16.
