| 8:34 |
And calling together the crowd with his disciples he said to them, ... |
| |
"If anyone desires after me to follow, ... |
| |
let him deny himself, ... |
| |
and let him raise his cross, ... |
| |
and let him follow me." |
| 8:35 |
"For who if ever desires to save his life, ... |
| |
will lose it, ... |
| |
Yet who ever loses his life for my sake and the gospel, ... |
| |
will save it." |
| 8:36 |
"For what does it benefit a man to gain the whole
world, ... |
| |
and to lose his soul?" |
| 8:37 |
"For what may a man give in exchange for his soul?"
|
| 8:38 |
"For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in
this adulterous and sinful generation, ... |
| |
also the 'Son of Man' will be ashamed
of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with
the Holy Angels." |
