Matthew 10:34-39

New Matthew Bible

³⁴ Think not that I have come to send peace into the earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword. ³⁵ For I have come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. ³⁶ And a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.

³⁷ He who loves his father or mother more than me, is not meet for me. And he who loves his son or daughter more than me, is not meet for me. ³⁸ And he who does not take up his cross and follow me, is not meet for me. ³⁹ He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake, will find it.
