Matthew 10:34–42

³⁴Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword.

³⁵For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

³⁶And a man’s enemies shall be they of his own household.

³⁷He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.

³⁸And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me.

³⁹He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it.

⁴⁰He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.

⁴¹He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man.

⁴²And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you he shall not lose his reward.
