Matthew 10:34-41 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

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

35. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

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

37. "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

38. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

39. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.

40. "He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.

41. He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
