Matthew 10:30-37 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

30. God even knows how many hairs are on your head.

31. So don’t be afraid. You are worth much more than many birds.

32. “If anyone stands before other people and says he believes in me, then I will say that he belongs to me. I will say this before my Father in heaven.

33. But if anyone stands before people and says he does not believe in me, then I will say that he does not belong to me. I will say this before my Father in heaven.

34. “Don’t think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

35. I have come to make this happen:‘A son will be against his father,a daughter will be against her mother,a daughter-in-law will be against her mother-in-law.

36. A person’s enemies will be members of his own family.’ Micah 7:6

37. “Whoever loves his father or mother more than he loves me is not worthy to be my follower. Whoever loves his son or daughter more than he loves me is not worthy to be my follower.
