1599 Geneva Bible
23 ¶ (A)And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross [a]daily, and follow me.
24 (B)For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 (C)For what advantageth it a man, if he win the whole world, and destroy himself, or lose himself?

- Luke 9:23 Even as one day followeth another, so doth one cross follow another, and the cross is by the figure Metonymy, taken for the miseries of this life: for to be hanged, was the sorest and cruelest punishment that was amongst the Jews.

23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.(A) 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.(B) 25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?
