Matthew 10:40-42 King James Version (KJV)
40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

As it is written:

Proverbs 25:25 King James Version (KJV)
25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

The good news is the gospel and that far country is heaven.

Cold water in the Gospel context is simply cold water, as you can see from Matthew 25.

a man knows the words of man by the spirit of man that is in him. The words of God knows no man but the Spirit of God.
What does this have to do with the price of eggs in Afghanistan?
