³⁸ And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

³⁹ He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

²⁷ And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

³¹ I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
