33 But everyone who denies me before people, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
34 “Don’t think that I’ve come to bring peace to the earth. I haven’t come to bring peace but a sword.
35 I’ve come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 People’s enemies are members of their own households.
37 “Those who love father or mother more than me aren’t worthy of me. Those who love son or daughter more than me aren’t worthy of me.
38 Those who don’t pick up their crosses and follow me aren’t worthy of me.
39 Those who find their lives will lose them, and those who lose their lives because of me will find them.
