Luke 9:23-25 Then he said in the presence of everyone, He who wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross every day and follow me.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ Then he said in the presence of everyone, He who wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross every day and follow me. ²⁴ For he who wishes to save his life, shall lose it; but he who loses his life for my sake, he shall save it. ²⁵ For how can a man be benefited, if he gain the whole world, but lose his own soul, or even weakens it?
