33
But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
34
Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the 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 enemies 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 taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me.
39
He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it.
40
He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
41
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man.
42
And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you he shall not lose his reward.
