Matthew 10:29-41
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 10
29Are two sparrows not sold for an assarion? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30But even the hairs of your head are all counted. 31So do not fear; you are more valuable than a great number of sparrows.
32Therefore, everyone who confesses Me before people, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven.
33But whoever denies Me before people, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
34Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35For I came to TURN A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW;
36and A PERSON’S ENEMIES will be the members of his household.
37The one who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and the one who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
38And the one who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
39The one who has found his life will lose it, and the one who has lost his life on My account will find it.
40The one who receives you receives Me, and the one who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.
41The one who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and the one who receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person shall receive a righteous person’s reward.
King James Version
Chapter 10
29Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
32Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
37He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

Chapter 10
29Aren’t two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s consent. 30But even the hairs of your head have all been counted. 31So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
32"Therefore, everyone who will acknowledge me before others, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven.
33But whoever denies me before others, I will also deny him before my Father in heaven.
34Don’t assume that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35For I came to turn a 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 be the members of his household.
37The one who loves a father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; the one who loves a son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38And whoever doesn’t take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
39Anyone who finds his life will lose it, and anyone who loses his life because of me will find it.
New Living Translation
Chapter 10
29What is the price of two sparrows — one copper coin ? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. 30And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. 31So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.
32Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.
33But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.
35‘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.
36Your enemies will be right in your own household!’
37If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine.
38If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine.
39If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.
40Anyone who receives you receives me, and anyone who receives me receives the Father who sent me.
41If you receive a prophet as one who speaks for God, you will be given the same reward as a prophet. And if you receive righteous people because of their righteousness, you will be given a reward like theirs.
