28 Whosoever, therefore, shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father who is in heaven.
29 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
30 Think not, that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword.
31 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-law; and a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
32 He who loveth father and mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he who loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.
33 And he who taketh not his cross and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
34 He who seeketh to save his life shall lose it; and he who loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
35 He who receiveth you, receiveth me; and he who receiveth me, receiveth him who sent me.
36 He that receiveth a prophet, in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward.
37 He that receiveth a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward.
38 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones, a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily, I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
