Matthew 10:37-42

37“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.

38And whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life because of me will find it.

40“Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.

41Whoever receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. Whoever receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward.

42And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple, I tell you the truth, he will never lose his reward.”
