Luke 9:23-25

Jubilee Bible 2000

²³ And he said to them all, If anyone will come after me, let them deny themself and take up their cross {Gr. stauros – stake} daily and follow me.

²⁴ For whosoever desires to save his soul shall lose it, but whosoever will lose his soul for my sake, the same shall save it.

²⁵ For what is a man advantaged if he gains the whole world, having destroyed himself or having suffered the loss of himself?
