Mt 10, Verses 37–39English original
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
For they who have esteemed domestic affection of relations higher than God, are unworthy to inherit good things to come.
