Whosoever shall receive this

Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever pays no attention to you pays no attention to me, and whoever pays no attention to me pays no attention to Him who sent me."

"Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes Him who sent me.

and whoever welcomes one little child like this for my sake welcomes me.

And the King will answer them, 'I solemnly say to you, every time you did a good deed to one of these most insignificant brothers of mine, you did a good deed to me.'

"Whoever, as a disciple of mine, welcomes one little child like this, welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me, welcomes not merely me but Him who sent me."

But Jesus cried aloud, "Whoever believes in me believes not merely in me but in Him who has sent me;

I most solemnly say to you, whoever welcomes any messenger I send welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes Him who has sent me."

Whoever continues to hold and keep my commands is the one who really loves me, and whoever really loves me will be loved by my Father; yes, I will love him myself and will make myself real to him."

So whoever rejects this teaching is rejecting not man but God who continues to put His Spirit in you.
