Matthew 10:34

Jesus ChristConflict and reconciliation

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

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

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.

36 A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
