Matthew 10:29-39

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father:

30 but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31 Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

32 Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven.

33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

34 Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

35 For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law:

36 and a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.

37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

38 And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.

39 He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
