Esther 4:13

Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any one determines to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to eternal life.

because for the work of the Christ he was near to death, not regarding his life, that he might supply that which was lacking in your service to me.

For consider him that endured such opposition of sinners against himself, lest you become weary and despondent in your minds.
