Anyone Not Against Us Is for Us

38 1John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone 2casting out demons in your name,a and 3we tried to stop him, because he was not following us."
39 But Jesus said, "Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me.
40 4For the one who is not against us is for us.
41 For truly, I say to you, 5whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward.
