Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

You can't defeat someone's power until you first overcome the person who holds it.
