Matthew 10:32-39
English Standard Version Anglicised
32 (A)So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, 33 but (B)whoever denies me before men, (C)I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
Not Peace, but a Sword
34 (D)“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. (E)I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 (F)For I have come (G)to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 (H)And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. 37 (I)Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And (J)whoever does not take his cross and (K)follow me is not worthy of me. 39 (L)Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
