6 Bible Verses about Our Crucifixion

Anyone who does not pick up his stake and follow me is not worthy of me.

Then Jesus told his disciples: If any man wants to follow me (be mine), let him deny (disown) himself, and take up his stake and follow me (Greek: akoloutheo moi, let him be following me) (accompany me) (be in the same way with me).

He then spoke to both his disciples and the crowd. He said: If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his stake and follow me.

He told them all: If any man would come after me let him deny himself. Let him take up his stake (of self-denial) daily, and follow me.

We know this that our old self was impaled with him that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer be in bondage to sin.

I have been impaled with Christ. It is no longer I that live, but Christ lives in me. The life that I now live in the flesh (physical body) I live by faith. This is the faith that is in the Son of God. He loved me and gave himself up for me.
