Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

Matthew 16:25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life on account of me will find it

Matthew 16:26 For what will a person be benefited if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what will a person give in exchange for his life?

Matthew 16:27 For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and at that time he will reward each one according to what he has done.
