²⁴Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
²⁵For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
²⁶For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
²⁷For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
²⁸Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
