For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

So Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, I will make three shelters -- one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

He said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

Take what is yours and go. I want to give to this last man the same as I gave to you.

Am I not permitted to do what I want with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?'

He said to her, "What do you want?" She replied, "Permit these two sons of mine to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom."

It must not be this way among you! Instead whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,

and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave --

Jesus stopped, called them, and said, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Now on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

So after they had assembled, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you, Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Christ?"

Although it grieved the king deeply, he did not want to reject her request because of his oath and his guests.

After Jesus left there, he went to the region of Tyre. When he went into a house, he did not want anyone to know, but he was not able to escape notice.

Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him and said, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask."

He said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"

and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of all.

Now when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"

At that time, some Pharisees came up and said to Jesus, "Get away from here, because Herod wants to kill you."

Besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us, so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.'

"What do you want me to do for you?" He replied, "Lord, let me see again."

But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to be king over us!'

Hasn't Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law! Why do you want to kill me?"

I know that you are Abraham's descendants. But you want to kill me, because my teaching makes no progress among you.

You people are from your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

He answered, "I told you already and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You people don't want to become his disciples too, do you?"

If anyone wants to serve me, he must follow me, and where I am, my servant will be too. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you.

"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they can see my glory that you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

But it is your custom that I release one prisoner for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?"

I tell you the solemn truth, when you were young, you tied your clothes around you and went wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and others will tie you up and bring you where you do not want to go."

Jesus replied, "If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours? You follow me!"

So the saying circulated among the brothers and sisters that this disciple was not going to die. But Jesus did not say to him that he was not going to die, but rather, "If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours?"

You don't want to kill me the way you killed the Egyptian yesterday, do you?'

After removing him, God raised up David their king. He testified about him: 'I have found David the son of Jesse to be a man after my heart, who will accomplish everything I want him to do.'

But Paul said to the police officers, "They had us beaten in public without a proper trial -- even though we are Roman citizens -- and they threw us in prison. And now they want to send us away secretly? Absolutely not! They themselves must come and escort us out!"

Also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him, and some were asking, "What does this foolish babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods." (They said this because he was proclaiming the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.)

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I may have some fruit even among you, just as I already have among the rest of the Gentiles.

For I don't understand what I am doing. For I do not do what I want -- instead, I do what I hate.

But if I do what I don't want, I agree that the law is good.

For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I want to do the good, but I cannot do it.

For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want!

Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer me doing it but sin that lives in me.

So, I find the law that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.

For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: A partial hardening has happened to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

Your obedience is known to all and thus I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.

What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

But if the unbeliever wants a divorce, let it take place. In these circumstances the brother or sister is not bound. God has called you in peace.

And I want you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord.

For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea,

No, I mean that what the pagans sacrifice is to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.

But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.

With regard to spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.

So I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.

but in the church I want to speak five words with my mind to instruct others, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

If they want to find out about something, they should ask their husbands at home, because it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.

Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel that I preached to you, that you received and on which you stand,

For I do not want to see you now in passing, since I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows.

For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, regarding the affliction that happened to us in the province of Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of living.

For we groan while we are in this tent, since we are weighed down, because we do not want to be unclothed, but clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
