Matthew 10:12-15

12 "As you enter the house, ¹give it your greeting.

13 "If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace.

14 "Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, ²shake the dust off your feet.

15 "Truly I say to you, ³it will be more tolerable for the land of ⁴Sodom and Gomorrah in ⁵the day of judgment than for that city.
