Matthew 10:11-16

New International Version

¹¹ Whatever town or village you enter, search there for some worthy person and stay at their house until you leave. ¹² As you enter the home, give it your greeting.^{(A) 13} If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. ¹⁴ If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.^{(B) 15} Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah^(C) on the day of judgment^(D) than for that town.^(E)

¹⁶ “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.^(F) Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.^(G)
