Mark 8:34-38 ▼

34 And having summoned the crowd with His disciples, He said to them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.

35 For whoever may want to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life on account of Me and of the gospel, he will save it.

36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and to lose his soul?

37 For what shall a man give as an exchange for his soul?

38 For whoever may be ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him when He shall come in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
