Matthew 16:24-26

Jubilee Bible 2000

²⁴ ¶ Then Jesus said unto his disciples, If anyone will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross {Gr. Stauros – stake} and follow me.

²⁵ For whosoever desires to save his life shall lose it, and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

²⁶ For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
