Luke 9:23-27 And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. ²⁴ For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. ²⁵ For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self? ²⁶ For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and [the glory] of the Father, and of the holy angels. ²⁷ But I tell you of a truth, There be some of them that stand here, which shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
