Matthew 10:32-34

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³² Therefore, everyone who acknowledges Me before men and confesses Me [^[a]out of a state of oneness with Me], I will also acknowledge him before My Father Who is in heaven and ^[b]confess [that I am abiding in] him.

³³ But whoever denies and disowns Me before men, I also will deny and disown him before My Father Who is in heaven.

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