²³ If any of you want to walk My path, you’re going to have to deny yourself. You’ll have to take up your cross every day and follow Me. ²⁴ If you try to avoid danger and risk, then you’ll lose everything. If you let go of your life and risk all for My sake, then your life will be rescued, healed, made whole and full. ²⁵ Listen, what good does it do you if you gain everything—if the whole world is in your pocket—but then your own life slips through your fingers and is lost to you?
