Luke 9:23-26
Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your
own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you
will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do youbenefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed? If anyone is
ashamed of me and my message, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when
he returns in his glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels.
