Matthew 16:23-25

New Century Version

²³ Then Jesus said to Peter, “Go away from me, Satan!^[a] You are not helping me! You don’t care about the things of God, but only about the things people think are important.”

²⁴ Then Jesus said to his followers, “If people want to follow me, they must give up the things they want. They must be willing even to give up their lives to follow me. ²⁵ Those who want to save their lives will give up true life, and those who give up their lives for me will have true life.
