Matthew 10:33-42

33 But he that shall deny me before men, and I shall deny him before my Father that is in heavens [and I shall deny him before my Father which is in heavens].
34 Do not ye deem, that I came to send peace into earth [Do not ye deem, that I came to send peace into the earth]; I came not to send peace, but sword.
35 For I came to part a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the son's wife against the husband's mother;
36 and the enemies of a man be they, that be at home with him.
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 to me [is not worthy of me].
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy to me [is not worthy of me].
39 He that findeth his life, shall lose it; and he that loseth 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 take the meed of a prophet [shall receive the meed of a prophet]. And he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall take the meed of a just man [shall receive the meed of a just man].
42 And whoever giveth drink to one of these least a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his meed.
