Chapter 12
Matthew 12:45
Τότε πορεύεται καὶ παραλαμβάνει μεθ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ ἑπτὰ ἕτερα πνεύματα πονηρότερα ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ εἰσελθόντα κατοικεῖ ἐκεῖ· καὶ γίνεται τὰ ἔσχατα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκείνου χείρονα τῶν πρώτων. Οὕτως ἔσται καὶ τῇ γενεᾷ ταύτῃ τῇ πονηρᾷ.
RBT Translation:
Self Degeneration
At that time he is leading across and he is receiving in company with his own self, seven other spirits more pain-ridden than his own self, and he who has come in is living there, and the End Ones of the Man, that one, are becoming worse than the First Ones. In this way she will also be, the Pain-Ridden Generation, this one!Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits, worse than he, and having come in, they dwell there: and the last things of that man are worse than the first. So also shall it be to this evil generation.
