Luke 14:31-35 ▼

31 Or what king going on to engage with another king in war, does not, having sat down, first consult if he with ten thousand is able to meet him who is coming against him with twenty thousand?

32 And if not so—he being yet a long way off—having sent a delegation, he asks the things for peace.

33 So, then, everyone of you who does not take leave of all that he himself has, is not able to be My disciple.

34 The salt [is] good, but if the salt becomes tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?

35 It is neither fit for land nor for manure—they cast it outside. He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.”
