Luke 11:26-28
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
26 And it goes and brings other spirits, seven [of them], more evil than itself, and they enter in, settle down, and dwell there; and the last state of that person is worse than the first.
27 Now it occurred that as He was saying these things, a certain woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, Blessed (happy and [a]to be envied) is the womb that bore You and the breasts that You sucked!
28 But He said, Blessed (happy and [b]to be envied) rather are those who hear the Word of God and obey and practice it!
