Then Jesus told his disciples,
MATTHEW 16:24-36
“If anyone would come after me,
let him deny himself
and take up his cross
and follow me.
For whoever would save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life
for my sake
will find it.
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world
and forfeits his soul?
Or what shall a man give in return
for his soul?
