Matthew 10:34-38

34 ¹"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. ²I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

35 ³For I have come ⁴to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

36 ⁵And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.

37 ⁶Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

38 And ⁷whoever does not take his cross and ⁸follow me is not worthy of me.
