"That next one in the parable that had option on you was the devil, 'cause you'd sinned. And first you belonged to him, 'cause you was--you're his property, for you were borned in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies. And he could not redeem it. See? He could not redeem it. So Christ come and was made man to take away our sins, to redeem us. Do you see it? And the other man couldn't do it. The devil couldn't die for sins, because he was the very perverter that made sin. See, he could not; he'd mar his inheritance, the other fellow."
~ Rev. William Marrion Branham (60-1002)
