Matthew 10: 34 - 42
|
| 34
|
"Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
|
| 35
|
For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
|
| 36
|
and a man's foes will be those of his own household.
|
| 37
|
He 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;
|
| 38
|
and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
|
| 39
|
He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
|
| 40
|
"He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
|
| 41
|
He who receives a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
|
| 42
|
And whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward."
