Matthew 10:37–42
37He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me.↗
38He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me.↗
39He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.↗
40“He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.↗
41He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.↗
42Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.”↗
