Matthew 10:32-39

32“Therefore whoever acknowledges Me before men, I will also acknowledge him before My Father who is in heaven.

33But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.

34“Do not think that I came to bring shalom on the earth; I did not come to bring shalom, but a sword.

35For I have come to set ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

36and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household.’

37“He who loves father or mother more than Me isn’t worthy of Me, and he who loves son or daughter more than Me isn’t worthy of Me.

38And whoever does not take up his cross and follow after Me isn’t worthy of Me.

39He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.
