As it is written: Iacob he loved, but Esau he hated.
¶ He that loveth his father, or mother more than me, is not worthy of me. And he that loveth his son, or daughter more than me, is not meet for me.
Have ye not read this scripture? the stone which the builders did refuse, is made the chief stone in the corner:
If a man come to me, and hate not his father and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, moreover and his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
He that loveth his life shall destroy it: And he that hateth his life in this world, shall keep it unto life eternal.
