SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:41
¶ Porque cualquiera que os diere un vaso de agua en mi nombre, porque sois del Cristo, de cierto os digo que no perder su recompensa.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 9:41
Verse 41. A cup of water to drink] See the notes on Matthew x. 42; xviii. 6-8.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 41. For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink , etc..] Not only one that does a miracle in the name of Christ, but he that shows the least respect, or does the least kindness to any one of his; (see Gill on Matthew 10:42); is to be reckoned a friend, and is so accounted by Christ; and will be sooner or later taken notice of by him, especially, if what he does, be it ever so little, is done on his account: in my name, because ye belong to Christ ; or as the Syriac version renders it, on account that ye are Christ's; are his disciples, are called by his name, are partakers of his grace, bear his image and likeness, are loved by him, interested in him, given to him, redeemed by him called by his grace, and shall be with him: verily l say unto you, he shall not lose his reward ; (see Gill on Matthew 10:42).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 41-50 - It is repeatedly said of the wicked, Their worm dieth not, as well as The fire is never quenched. Doubtless, remorse of conscience and kee self-reflection are this never-dying worm. Surely it is beyond compar better to undergo all possible pain, hardship, and self-denial here and to be happy for ever hereafter, than to enjoy all kinds of worldl pleasure for a season, and to be miserable for ever. Like the sacrifices, we must be salted with salt; our corrupt affections must be subdued and mortified by the Holy Spirit. Those that have the salt of grace, must show they have a living principle of grace in their hearts which works out corrupt dispositions in the soul that would offend God or our own consciences __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
9:41 {Because ye are Christ's} (hoti cristou este). Predicate genitive, belong to Christ. See #Ro 8:9; 1Co 1:12; 2Co 10:7. That is the bond of universal brotherhood of the redeemed. It breaks over the lines of nation, race, class, sex, everything. No service is too small, even a cup of cold water, if done for Christ's sake. See on Mt 18:6f. for discussion on stumbling-blocks for these little ones that believe on Jesus (#Mr 9:42), a loving term of all believers, not just children.
