³⁴“Do not think that I have come to bring peace on the earth! I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. ³⁵For I have come to turn a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. ³⁶And the enemies of a man will be the members of his household.^h ³⁷The one who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and the one who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. ³⁸And whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. ³⁹The one who finds his life will lose it, and the one who loses his life because of me will find it.

On Rewards

⁴⁰“The one who receives you receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me. ⁴¹The one who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and the one who receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. ⁴²And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will never lose his reward.”

Read in Logos

Matthew 10:42: “And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”
