Imperative: Mat 10:32-39.  So every one who acknowledges me before men (no imperative)

Context: Mat 10:32  So every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; 33  but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven. 34  “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35  For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36  and a man’s foes will be those of his own household. 37  He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38  and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39  He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
