| He called the multitude to himself with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wants to 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 whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will 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 does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? | What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? |
Bible verse of the day
One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty;one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.
