Matthew 10:13

Peace

11 Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.

12 As you enter the home, greet its occupants.

If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it; but if it is not, let your peace return to you.

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.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
