Matthew 10:12-22

12 And as ye enter into a house salute it.
13 And if the house indeed be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in judgment-day than for that city.
16 Behold, *I* send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore prudent as the serpents, and guileless as the doves.
17 But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to sanhedrims, and scourge you in their synagogues;
18 and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
19 But when they deliver you up, be not careful how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given to you in that hour what ye shall speak.
20 For *ye* are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you.
21 But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents and shall put them to death;
22 and ye shall be hated of all on account of my name. But he that has endured to [the] end, *he* shall be saved.
