Matthew 10:38–42 · Berean Standard Bible

38 and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

40 He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.

41 Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.

42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”
