Matthew 10:29-39

291Are not twoG1417 sparrowsG4765 soldG4453 for a 2centG787? And yet not oneG1520 of them will fallG4098 to the groundG1093 apartG427 from your FatherG3962. 30But 3the veryG2532 hairsG2359 of your headG2776 are allG3956 numberedG705. 31SoG3767 do not fearG5399; 4you are moreG1308 valuableG1308 than manyG4183 sparrowsG4765.

32“ThereforeG3767 5everyoneG3956 whoG3748 6confessesG3670 Me beforeG1715 menG444, I will alsoG2532 confessG3670 7him beforeG1715 My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772. 33But 8whoeverG3748G302 9deniesG720 Me beforeG1715 menG444, I will alsoG2532 denyG720 him beforeG1715 My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772.

34“10Do not thinkG3543 that I cameG2064 to 11bringG906 peaceG1515 on the earthG1093; I did not comeG2064 to bringG906 peaceG1515, but a swordG3162. 35For I cameG2064 to 12setG1369 a manG444 againstG2596 his fatherG3962, and a daughterG2364 againstG2596 her motherG3384, and a daughter-in-lawG3565 againstG2596 her mother-in-lawG3994; 36and 13a man’sG444 enemiesG2190 will be the members of his householdG3615.

37“14He who lovesG5368 fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384 moreG5228 thanG5228 Me is not worthyG514 of Me; and he who lovesG5368 sonG5207 orG2228 daughterG2364 moreG5228 thanG5228 Me is not worthyG514 of Me. 38And 15he whoG3739 does not takeG2983 his crossG4716 and followG190 afterG3694 Me is not worthyG514 of Me. 3916He who has foundG2147 his 17lifeG5590 will loseG622 it, and he who has lostG622 his 18lifeG5590 for My sakeG1752 will findG2147 it.
