²⁴ I’m telling you the solemn truth: unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains all by itself. If it dies, though, it will produce lots of fruit. ²⁵ If you love your life, you’ll lose it. If you hate your life in this world, you’ll keep it for the life of the coming age.

²⁶ “If anyone serves me, they must follow me. Where I am, my servant will be too. If anyone serves me, the father will honor them.”
