Matthew 10:29-39

29 "1Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.
30 "But 2the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 "So do not fear; 3you are more valuable than many sparrows.
32 "Therefore 4everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven.
33 "But 5whoever * denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
34 "6Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 "For I came to 7SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW;
36 and 8A MAN'S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD.
37 "9He 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 10he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
39 "11He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.
