| And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. | Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” |
| For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. | For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. |
|
| For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? | What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? |
