Mark 9:33-41
Holman Christian Standard Bible

And whoever welcomes Me does not welcome Me, but Him who sent(K) Me.”(L)

39 “Don’t stop him,” said Jesus, “because there is no one who will perform a miracle(R) in My name who can soon afterward speak evil of Me. 40 For whoever is not against us is for us.(S) 41 And whoever gives you a cup of water to drink(T) because of My name,[c] since you belong to the Messiah(U)—I assure you:(V) He will never lose his reward.(W)
