Take Up the Cross and Follow Him^(A)

^23 (B)Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross ^[a]daily, and follow Me.

^39 (A)He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

¹¹ This is a faithful saying:

²⁴ And those who are Christ’s ^(A)have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
