Matthew 16:26

Taking Up One's Cross To Follow Jesus

²⁵ For, whosoever intendeth, his life, to save, shall lose it, - but, whosoever shall lose his life, for my sake, shall find it. ²⁶ For what shall a man be profited, though, the whole world, he gain, and, his life, he forfeit? Or what shall a man give, in exchange for his life? ²⁷ For the Son of Man is destined to be coming, in the glory of his Father, with his messengers, - and, then, will he give back unto each one, according to his practice.
