Matthew 10:31-38
-
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
-
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
-
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
-
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
-
35 For I am come 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 taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
