Matthew 10:9-15

9 1Do not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts, 10or a 2bag for your journey, or even two 3coats, or sandals, or a staff; for 4the worker is worthy of his 5support. 11And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay 6at his house until you leave that city. 12As you enter the 7house, 8give it your 9greeting. 13If the house is worthy, 10give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, 11take back your blessing of peace. 14Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, 12shake the dust off your feet. 15Truly I say to you, 13it will be more tolerable for the land of 14Sodom and Gomorrah in 15the day of judgment than for that city.
