Then he said to them all:“ Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.

And he said to all,“ If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.

Then he said to the crowd,“ If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me.

Then he said to them all,“ If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.

And He was saying to them all,“ If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

Then He said to them all,“ If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

Then He said to them all,“ If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

And he said to[ them] all, If any[ man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

Then he said to them all,“ If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.

He said to all,“ If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

Whoever does not pick up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.Whoever finds their life will lose it. Whoever loses their life because of me will find it.

“ 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.

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.What good is it if someone gains the whole world but loses their soul?Or what can anyone trade for their soul?Suppose anyone is ashamed of me and my words among these adulterous and sinful people. Then the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

If you live under the power of sin, you will die. But by the Spirit’s power you can put to death the sins you commit. Then you will live.

Anyone who loves their life will lose it. But anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it and have eternal life.Anyone who serves me must follow me. And where I am, my servant will also be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.

His grace teaches us to say no to godless ways and sinful desires. We must control ourselves. We must do what is right. We must lead godly lives in today’s world.

So put to death anything that comes from sinful desires. Get rid of sexual sins and impure acts. Don’t let your feelings get out of control. Remove from your life all evil desires. Stop always wanting more and more. You might as well be worshiping statues of gods.

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

Peter took Jesus to one side and began to scold him.“ Never, Lord!” he said.“ This will never happen to you!”Jesus turned and said to Peter,“ Get behind me, Satan! You are standing in my way. You do not have in mind the things God cares about. Instead, you only have in mind the things humans care about.”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.Whoever wants to save their life will lose it. But whoever loses their life for me will find it.

And why would we put ourselves in danger every hour?I face death every day. That’s the truth. And here is something you can be just as sure of. I take pride in what Christ Jesus our Lord has done for you through my work.
