Matthew 10:16

¹⁴ And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

¹⁵ Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

¹⁷ But beware of men; for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.

¹⁸ On My account, you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.
