1Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

And 2whoever does not take his cross and 3follow me is not worthy of me.
39
4Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Rewards
405"Whoever receives you receives me, and 6whoever receives me receives him who sent me.

7The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward.

And 8whoever gives one of 9these 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."
