Mt 10:38-42

38and whoever does not take up his cross^* and follow after me is not worthy of me. 39^{* v} Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Rewards. 40“Whoever receives you receives me,^* and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.^w 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 righteous will receive a righteous man’s reward. 42And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because he is a disciple—amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.”^x
