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.

⁴⁰

He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.

⁴¹

He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

⁴²

And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.
