Matthew 10:34–42

^34u“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. ³⁵For I have come to ^v‘set ¹a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; ³⁶and ^w‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ ^37xHe who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. ^38yAnd he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. ^39zHe who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

^40a“He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. ^41bHe who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. ^42cAnd whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”
