Matthew 10:34-42
\n34 \u201cDo not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. <\/p>\n
\n35 For I have come to set a man against his father,
\nand a daughter against her mother,
\nand a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
\n36 and one’s foes will be members of one’s own household. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38 and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.
\n40 \u201cWhoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward; and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive the reward of the righteous; 42 and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple\u2014truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.\u201d
