The Synoptic Gospels attribute the following quote to Jesus: “Whoever is not with Me is against Me, and whoever does not gather with Me scatters” (Matthew 12:30), as well as the corresponding statement, “Whoever is not against us is for us” (Luke 9:50; Mark 9:40).

A teaching of Jesus, which suggests that indifference to his message is the same as active opposition to it.

Jesus once said, “Whoever is not with me is against me” (Matt. 12:30).

The gospel is all about promoting equality and forbidding discrimination to foster in society. In the first place, instead of competing with each other we should follow the footsteps of Jesus as he came not to be served but to serve.

He that is not against us is with us.? Who said this? The above statement has been drawn from Francis Bacon’s essay Of Unity in Religion.

In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. The New International Version translates the passage as: You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good?

: to use (something) as a reason to have a bad opinion of (someone) He lied to her once, and she still holds it against him. Nobody is going to hold it against you if you don’t come.

Romans 8:31 If God is for us, Who can be Against US.

If God be for us, who can be against us? [32] He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? [33] Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.

Here Jesus explains the abundance of the heart by a treasure, which is an accumulation of goods. So a good person from the good heap of good thoughts and affections which he accumulates in his mind, naturally brings forth good words and works.
