You were chosen to do good even if you suffer. That’s because Christ suffered for you. He left you an example that he expects you to follow.

To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.

For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps.

For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

For you have been called for this purpose, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you would follow in His steps,

For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:

For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in His steps.

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

For to this you were called, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving an example for you to follow in his steps.

For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,

Then Jesus spoke to his disciples. He said,“ Whoever wants to be my disciple must say no to themselves. They must pick up their cross and follow me.

I have given you an example. You should do as I have done for you.

We know what love is because Jesus Christ gave his life for us. So we should give our lives for our brothers and sisters.

As you deal with one another, you should think and act as Jesus did.

There they helped the believers gain strength. They told them to remain faithful to what they had been taught.“ We must go through many hard times to enter God’s kingdom,” they said.

Lead a life of love, just as Christ did. He loved us. He gave himself up for us. He was a sweet- smelling offering and sacrifice to God.

God planned that those he had chosen would become like his Son. In that way, Christ will be the first and most honored among many brothers and sisters.

Follow my example, just as I follow the example of Christ.

Become my servants and learn from me. I am gentle and free of pride. You will find rest for your souls.

Christ also suffered once for sins. The one who did what is right suffered for those who don’t do right. He suffered to bring you to God. His body was put to death. But the Holy Spirit brought him back to life.

Christ suffered in his body. So prepare yourselves to think in the same way Christ did. Do this because whoever suffers in their body is finished with sin.

God’s holiness leads the way in front of him. It prepares the way for his coming.

Whoever does not pick up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

“ I have told you these things, so that you can have peace because of me. In this world you will have trouble. But be encouraged! I have won the battle over the world.”

God has made everything. He is now bringing his many sons and daughters to share in his glory. It is only right that Jesus is the one to lead them into their salvation. That’s because God made him perfect by his sufferings.

“ He himself carried our sins” in his body on the cross.( Isaiah 53:5) He did it so that we would die as far as sins are concerned. Then we would lead godly lives.“ His wounds have healed you.”( Isaiah 53:5)

Don’t pay back evil with evil. Don’t pay back unkind words with unkind words. Instead, pay back evil with kind words. This is what you have been chosen to do. You will receive a blessing by doing this.

In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be treated badly.

“ Anyone who comes to me must hate their father and mother. They must hate their wife and children. They must hate their brothers and sisters. And they must hate even their own life. Unless they do this, they can’t be my disciple.Whoever doesn’t carry their cross and follow me can’t be my disciple.

You know the directions we gave you. They were given by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

Didn’t the Messiah have to suffer these things and then receive his glory?”

I will show him how much he must suffer for me.”

They had victory over him by the blood the Lamb spilled for them. They had victory over him by speaking the truth about Jesus to others. They were willing to risk their lives, even if it led to death.

Then he said to all of them,“ Whoever wants to follow me must say no to themselves. They must pick up their cross every day and follow me.Whoever wants to save their life will lose it. But whoever loses their life for me will save it.What good is it if someone gains the whole world but loses or gives up their very self?

We sent him so that no one would be upset by times of testing. You know very well that we have to go through times of testing.

Jesus called the crowd to him along with his disciples. He said,“ Whoever wants to be my disciple must say no to themselves. They must pick up their cross and follow me.Whoever wants to save their life will lose it. But whoever loses their life for me and for the good news will save it.

He explained and proved that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead.“ This Jesus I am telling you about is the Messiah!” he said.

He was chosen before God created the world. But he came into the world for your sake in these last days.
