Matthew 10:34-39
Modern English Version

Not Peace, but a Sword(A)

34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn

‘a man against his father,
    a daughter against her mother,
and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
36     a man’s foes will be those of his own household.’[a]

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 finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.
