Esther 4:13

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone wants to go with me, he must disregard himself and take his cross and follow me.

Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.

for he came near dying for the Lord's work, and risked his life to make up for what was lacking in the service you have done me.

Think of the opposition that he encountered from those sinners against themselves, if you would not grow weary and faint-hearted.
