Matthew 10:32-42 ▼

32 Whosoeuer therefore shall confesse me before men, him will I confesse also before my Father which is in heauen.

33 But whosoeuer shall denie me before me, him will I also denie before my Father which is in heauen.

34 Thinke not that I am come to sende peace into the earth: I came not to send peace, but the sworde.

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 lawe.

36 And a mans enemies shall be they of his owne housholde.

37 He that loueth father or mother more then me, is not worthie of me; he that loueth sonne, or daughter more then mee, is not worthie of me.

38 And hee that taketh not his crosse, and followeth after me, is not worthie of me.

39 He that will finde his life, shall lose it: & he that loseth his life for my sake, shal finde it.

40 He that receiueth you, receiueth me: and hee that receiueth mee, receiueth him that hath sent me.

41 Hee that receiueth a Prophet in the name of a Prophet, shall receiue a Prophetes rewarde: and hee that receiueth a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man, shall receiue the rewarde of a righteous man.

42 And whosoeuer shall giue vnto one of these litle ones to drinke a cuppe of colde water onely, in the name of a disciple, verely I say vnto you, he shall not lose his rewarde.
