Matthew 10:36-38

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁶ And a man’s foes will be they of his own household.^(A)

³⁷ He who loves [and ^[a]takes more pleasure in] father or mother more than [in] Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves [and takes more pleasure in] son or daughter more than [in] Me is not worthy of Me;

³⁸ And he who does not take up his cross and follow Me [^[b]cleave steadfastly to Me, conforming wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also] is not worthy of Me.
