Matthew 10:29–42

²⁹Are not two sparrows sold for a ^||farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. ³⁰But ^ythe very hairs of your head are all numbered. ³¹Fear ye not therefore, ^zye are of more value than many sparrows. ³²Whosoever therefore shall ^aconfess me before men, ^bhim will I confess also before ^cmy Father which is in heaven. ³³But whosoever shall ^ddeny me before men, him will I also deny before ^cmy Father which is in heaven.

^34eThink not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. ³⁵For I am come 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 ^fa man’s foes shall be they of his own household. ^37gHe 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. ^38hAnd he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. ³⁹ⁱHe that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

^40kHe that receiveth you receiveth me, and ^lhe that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. ⁴¹He ^mthat receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. ⁴²ⁿAnd whosoever shall give to drink unto 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.
