Matthew 10:34-39
Wycliffe Bible
34 Do not ye deem, that I came to send peace into earth [Do not ye deem, that I came to send peace into the earth]; I came not to send peace, but sword.
35 For I came to part a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the son's wife against the husband's mother;
36 and the enemies of a man be they, that be at home with him.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me. And he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy to me [is not worthy of me].
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy to me [is not worthy of me].
39 He that findeth his life, shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for me, shall find it.

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.
