Old Testament

New Testament

Matthew 10:34-39 God's Word Translation (GW)

34. “Don’t think that I came to bring peace to earth. I didn’t come to bring peace but conflict.

35. I came to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

36. A person’s enemies will be the members of his own family.

37. “The person who loves his father or mother more than me does not deserve to be my disciple. The person who loves a son or daughter more than me does not deserve to be my disciple.

38. Whoever doesn’t take up his cross and follow me doesn’t deserve to be my disciple.

39. The person who tries to preserve his life will lose it, but the person who loses his life for me will preserve it.
