12 And, as ye enter the house, salute it;
Then, when you enter into the house, greet it, saying, ‘Peace to this house.’
13 And, if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it, but, if it be not worthy, let your peace, unto you, return.
And if, indeed, that house is worthy, your peace will rest upon it. But if it is not worthy, your peace will return to you.

32 Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, I also, will confess, him, before my Father who is in the heavens;
Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father, who is in heaven.

But whoever will have denied me before men, I also will deny before my Father, who is in heaven.
34 Do not think, that I came to thrust peace upon the earth, —I came not to thrust, peace, but, a sword;
Do not think that I came to send peace upon the earth. I came, not to send peace, but the sword.

And whoever shall give, even to one of the least of these, a cup of cold water to drink, solely in the name of a disciple: Amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.”
