Cannot

Jesus answered, “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer.”

In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’

So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

…and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.

And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

So he called him in to ask, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in an account of your management, for you cannot be manager any longer.’

No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’

The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil.

You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”

What does He mean by saying, ‘You will look for Me, but you will not find Me,’ and, ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”

Again He said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

So the Jews began to ask, “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”

If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—

“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they cannot see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.”

Little children, I am with you only a little while longer. You will look for Me, and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you: ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’

“Lord, where are You going?” Simon Peter asked. Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now, but you will follow later.”

…the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you.

I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it.

“What shall we do with these men?” they asked. “It is clear to everyone living in Jerusalem that a remarkable miracle has occurred through them, and we cannot deny it.

For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

Then some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”

But Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain with the ship, you cannot be saved.”

For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.

I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.

Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.

May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”

The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.

The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you.” Nor can the head say to the feet, “I do not need you.”

Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is ratified, cannot be canceled or amended.

In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even the ones that are inconspicuous cannot remain hidden.

For we brought nothing into the world, so we cannot carry anything out of it.

…for which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained!

…if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

…in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.

Above the ark were the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the mercy seat. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.

…because a will does not take effect until the one who made it has died; it cannot be executed while he is still alive.

When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.

Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.

If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

We know that anyone born of God does not keep on sinning; the One who was born of God protects him, and the evil one cannot touch him.

I know your deeds, your labor, and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and you have tested and exposed as liars those who falsely claim to be apostles.

Now the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the works of their hands. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk.
