"Therefore whoever confesess Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. "But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven. "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword / Leviathan the fleeing serpent / the evil one / jealousy / the flesh / the world / that serpent of old of the earth,. "For I have come to 'set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter - in - law against her mother - in -law'; "And 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.' "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. "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. "He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life or My sake will find it. "He who recieves you recieves Me, and he who receives Me recieves Him who sent Me. "He who recieves a prophet in the name of a prophet shall recieve a prophet's reward. And he who recieves a righteous man in the name of righteous man shall recieve a righteous man's reward. "And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his his reward." MATTHEW 10:32-42
