Matthew 10:37-39

Worldwide English (New Testament)

³⁷ Anyone who loves his father or his mother more than he loves me, is not good enough for me. Anyone who loves his son or his daughter more than he loves me, is not good enough for me.

³⁸ Anyone who is not willing to carry his cross and suffer with me, is not good enough for me.

³⁹ Anyone who tries to keep his life, will lose it. Anyone who gives up his life for my sake, will find it.'
