Luke 9:23-25

Worldwide English (New Testament)

²³ And He said to all the people, `If anyone wants to come with me, he must leave what he himself wants to do. Every day he must take up his cross [be ready to die] and come with me.

²⁴ Anyone who tries to keep his life will lose it. And anyone who gives up his life for my sake will find it.

²⁵ What good will it do a man if he gets the whole world for himself but loses his life or spoils it?
