Jesus Speaking to His Disciples:
“I came to bring fire to the earth and how I wish it were already kindled. I have a baptism with which to be baptized and what I stress I am under until it is completed.
Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No I tell you but rather division. From now on five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three they will be divided:father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother in law.” —Luke 12:49-53
“More than that, I regard everything as a loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus as my Lord. For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law but one that comes through faith in Christ. the righteousness from God based on faith.” —Philippians 3:8-9
