Thematic Bible: Those that do not hate their life in this world

Whosoever therefore shall own me before men, him will I own likewise before my father who is in heaven. but whosoever shall renounce me before men, him will I also renounce before my father who is in heaven. don't imagine that I am come to bring peace upon the earth: I came not to bring peace, but war. read more.
my coming will occasion discord between the son and his father, between the daughter and her mother, between the daughter in law and her mother in law: even a man's own domestics shall prove his foes. he that loveth father or mother more than me, is unworthy of me: he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is unworthy of me.

After this a great multitude being gather'd about him, he address'd himself to them, and said, he that can't abandon his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, nay, even his own life, cannot be my disciple. and he that does not bear his cross, and tread in my steps, cannot be my disciple. read more.
for who of you would resolve to build a tower, without taking the trouble first of all to compute the expence, and whether he is able to finish it? for fear he should be made the jest of every spectator, for laying the foundation, without being able to carry it on. this man, will they say, began to build, but wanted stock to finish. or where is the king, that will march to give battle to another king, without setting himself first to deliberate, whether he is strong enough with ten thousand to withstand an army of twenty thousand? that in case he is not, he may send an embassy, and desire conditions of peace, before the other approaches. in like manner every one of you must count upon renouncing all that he has, otherwise he cannot be my disciple.
