Matthew 10:34-42
Christian Standard Bible
34 Don’t assume that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.(A) 35 For I came to turn
a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
36 and a man’s enemies will be
the members of his household.[a](B)
37 The one who loves a father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; (C) the one who loves a son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever doesn’t take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Anyone who finds his life will lose it,(D) and anyone who loses his life because of me will find it.(E)
A Cup of Cold Water
40 “The one who welcomes you welcomes me,(F) and the one who welcomes me welcomes him who sent me.(G) 41 Anyone who welcomes a prophet(H) because he is a prophet[b] will receive a prophet’s reward. And anyone who welcomes a righteous person because he’s righteous[c] will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And whoever gives(I) even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is a disciple,[d](J) truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”
