Luke 14:27-32

BLB(i) 27 Whoever does not carry his cross and come after Me is not able to be My disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first, having sat down, count the cost, whether he has enough for its completion? 29 Otherwise, he having laid its foundation and not being able to finish, all seeing it may begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31 Or what king, proceeding to engage with another king in war, will not, having sat down, first take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if not, of him being still far off, having sent an embassy, he asks for peace.
