Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any one determines to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. ²⁵ For whoever will save his life, shall lose it. But whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it. ²⁶ For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, but lose his own life? Or, what will a man give as the ransom of his life?
