Those who receive and support prophets will be rewarded, as Jesus teaches in Matthew and Mark. In Matthew 10:41 and Mark 9:41, it is written that whoever receives a prophet will receive a prophet's reward. The principle of sowing and reaping is also relevant, as seen in Galatians 6:6 and Luke 6:38, where generosity towards God's servants is promised to yield a bountiful harvest. By showing hospitality and kindness to prophets, believers demonstrate their love for God and His message, and will be blessed in return. This reciprocal relationship is rooted in God's character, who generously rewards those who faithfully serve and support His messengers.

Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.

He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.
