Whoever gives
"Anyone who gives."
one of these unimportant ones, even a cup of cold water to drink, because he is a disciple
This can also be translated "one of these little ones a cup of cold water because he is a disciple of mine" or "one of the least of my disciples even a drink of cold water."
he will in no way lose his reward
"that person will certainly receive his reward" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-litotes)

"be denied." This has nothing to do with having a possession taken away.
