Matthew 13:11-12

Matthew 10:37-39
“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.”
Matthew 10:32-33

Matthew 5:19-20
Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kindom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
