Matthew 10:39-41

New Century Version

³⁹ Those who try to hold on to their lives will give up true life. Those who give up their lives for me will hold on to true life. ⁴⁰ Whoever accepts you also accepts me, and whoever accepts me also accepts the One who sent me. ⁴¹ Whoever meets a prophet and accepts him will receive the reward of a prophet. And whoever accepts a good person because that person is good will receive the reward of a good person.
