31. So don’t be afraid therefore; you are worth more than many sparrows.
32. “Therefore, everyone who will acknowledge Me before men, I will also acknowledge him before My Father in heaven.
33. But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.
34. Don’t assume that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35. For I came to turna man against his father,a daughter against her mother,a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
36. and a man’s enemies will bethe members of his household.
37. The person who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; the person who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
