Matthew 10:34-39

New King James Version

Christ Brings Division^(A)

^34 (B)“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. ³⁵ For I have come to ^(C)‘set^[a] a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; ³⁶ and ^(D)‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ ^37 (E)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. ^38 (F)And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. ^39 (G)He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.
