Matthew 10:34–42

³⁴Do not think that I have come to send peace upon the earth: I have not come to send peace, but a sword. ³⁵For I have come to set a man at variance with his father, and the daughter with her mother, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law; ³⁶and they of his household shall be a man’s enemies. ³⁷He who loves father or mother above me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me. ³⁸And he who does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. ³⁹He that finds his life shall lose it, and he who has lost his life for my sake shall find it. ⁴⁰He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me. ⁴¹He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man’s reward. ⁴²And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
