Matthew 16:24-26 Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. ²⁵ For whosoever is desirous to preserve his life, shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake, shall find it. ²⁶ For what would a man be advantaged, though he could gain the whole world, if he should suffer the loss of his soul? or what will a man give as the ransom for his soul?
