Luke 14:26-33

26If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his ownG1438 fatherG3962, and motherG3384, and wifeG1135, and childrenG5043, and brethren, and sistersG79, yea, and his ownG1438 lifeG5590 alsoG2532, he cannot beG1510 my discipleG3101. 27Whosoever doth not bearG941 his ownG1438 crossG4716, and comeG2064 after me, cannot beG1510 my discipleG3101. 28For which of you, desiringG2309 to buildG3618 a towerG4444, doth not firstG4413 sitG2523 downG2523 and count the cost, whether he have wherewith to complete it? 29LestG3361 haply, when he hath laidG5087 a foundationG2310, and is not ableG2480 to finishG1615, all that behold beginG757 to mockG1702 him, 30sayingG3004, This manG444 beganG757 to buildG3618, and was not ableG2480 to finishG1615. 31Or what kingG935, as he goeth to encounter another kingG935 in warG4171, will not sitG2523 down firstG4413 and take counsel whether he isG1510 ableG1415 with tenG1176 thousandG5505 to meet him that cometh against him with twentyG1501 thousandG5505? 32Or else, while the other isG1510 yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and asketh conditions of peaceG1515. 33So thereforeG3767 whosoever he beG1510 of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot beG1510 my discipleG3101.
