24 Then addressing himself to his disciples, if any man, said he, would follow me, let him renounce himself, take up his cross, and so follow me. 25 for whosoever will save himself, shall be a looser: and whosoever shall suffer loss for my sake, shall be a gainer. 26 what advantage is it to a man to gain the whole world at the price of his life? or what would not a man pay down to preserve his life? 27 for the son of man shall come in the glory of his father, with his angels; and then shall be make retribution to every man according to his works. 28 I declare unto you, some are here present, who shall not die, till they have seen the son of man enter into his kingdom.
