'Cannot' in the Bible

“You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden.

Neither should you swear by your head, because you cannot make a single hair white or black.

“No one can be a slave of two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot be slaves of God and of money.

Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, Your will be done.”

Or do you think that I cannot call on My Father, and He will provide Me at once with more than 12 legions of angels?

“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself! He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

Jesus said to them, “The wedding guests cannot fast while the groom is with them, can they? As long as they have the groom with them, they cannot fast.

If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

In the same way, the chief priests with the scribes were mocking Him to one another and saying, “He saved others; He cannot save Himself!

And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

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

Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

Otherwise, after he has laid the foundation and cannot finish it, all the onlookers will begin to make fun of him,

In the same way, therefore, every one of you who does not say good-bye to all his possessions cannot be My disciple.

Besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that those who want to pass over from here to you cannot; neither can those from there cross over to us.’

Jesus replied, “I assure you: Unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Jesus answered, “I assure you: Unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

The world cannot hate you, but it does hate Me because I testify about it—that its deeds are evil.

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

What is this remark He made: ‘You will look for Me, and you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”

Then He said to them again, “I’m going away; you will look for Me, and you will die in your sin. Where I’m going, you cannot come.”

So the Jews said again, “He won’t kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I’m going, you cannot come’?”

Why don’t you understand what I say? Because you cannot listen to My word.

If He called those whom the word of God came to ‘gods’—and the Scripture cannot be broken—

“Children, I am with you a little while longer. You will look for Me, and just as I told the Jews, ‘Where I am going you cannot come,’ so now I tell you.

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

Some men came down from Judea and began to teach the brothers: “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom prescribed by Moses, you cannot be saved!”

Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”

as it is written:God gave them a spirit of insensitivity,eyes that cannot seeand ears that cannot hear,to this day.

Let their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,and their backs be bent continually.

The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot share in the Lord’s table and the table of demons.

So the eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” Or again, the head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”

Brothers, I tell you this: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and corruption cannot inherit incorruption.

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

Likewise, good works are obvious, and those that are not obvious cannot remain hidden.

This is a symbol for the present time, during which gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the worshiper’s conscience.

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us hold on to grace. By it, we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

You desire and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. You do not have because you do not ask.

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

I know your works, your labor, and your endurance, and that you cannot tolerate evil. You have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and you have found them to be liars.
