Matthew 12:26

And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

And {G2532} if {G1487} Satan {G4567} cast out {G1544} Satan {G4567}, he is divided {G3307} against {G1909} himself {G1438}; how {G4459} shall {G2476} then {G3767} his {G846} kingdom {G932} stand {G2476}?

If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself; so how can his kingdom survive?

If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

and if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
