34Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35For I have come to turn
‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36A man’s enemies will be the members
of his own household.’
37Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;
38and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
— Matthew 10:34-39
