Matthew 10:33

FaithJudgmentShame

31 So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

32 Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.

But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.

34 Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

35 For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
