Christ Brings Division
34 “Do
not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring
peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set
a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law
against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies
will be those of his own household.’ 37 He who
loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who
loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38
And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy
of Me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it,
and he who loses his life for My sake will find it."
