Luke 14:25-35

25NowG1161 largeG4183 crowdsG3793 were traveling withG4848 Jesus, andG2532 He turnedG4762 and saidG2036 toG4314 themG846, 26“IfG1487 anyoneG5100 comesG2064 toG4314 MeG1473 andG2532 does notG3756 hateG3404 hisG1438 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384 andG2532 wifeG1135 andG2532 childrenG5043 andG2532 brothersG80 andG2532 sistersG79—yesG2089, evenG2532 hisG1438 own lifeG5590—he cannotG3756G1410 beG1510 MyG1473 discipleG3101. 27And whoeverG3748 does notG3756 carryG941 hisG1438 crossG4716 andG2532 followG2064G3694 MeG1473 cannotG3756G1410 beG1510 MyG1473 discipleG3101.

WhichG5101 ofG1537 youG4771, wishingG2309 to buildG3618 a towerG4444, does notG3780 firstG4412 sit downG2523 and countG5585 theG3588 costG1160 to see ifG1487 he hasG2192 the resources toG1519 completeG535 it? 29OtherwiseG2443G3361G4219, if he laysG5087 the foundationG2310 andG2532 is unableG3361G2480 to finishG1615 the work, everyoneG3956 whoG3588 seesG2334 it will ridiculeG756G1702 himG846, 30sayingG3004, ‘ThisG3778 manG444 couldG2480 notG3756 finishG1615 what he startedG756 to buildG3618.’

31OrG2228 whatG5101 kingG935 on his wayG4198 to warG4820G1519G4171 with anotherG2087 kingG935 will not first sit downG3780G2523G4412 and considerG1011 whetherG1487 heG1510 canG1415 engageG5221 withG1722 tenG1176 thousandG5505 men theG3588 one comingG2064 againstG1909 himG846 withG3326 twentyG1501 thousandG5505? 32AndG1161 ifG1487 he is unable, he will sendG649 a delegationG4242 while the other king isG1510 stillG2089 far offG4206, to askG2065 forG4314 terms of peaceG1515.

33In the same wayG3779G3767, any oneG3956 ofG1537 youG4771 whoG3739 does not give upG3756G657 everythingG3956 heG1438 hasG5225 cannotG3756G1410 beG1510 MyG1473 discipleG3101.

SaltG217 is goodG2570, butG1161 ifG1437 theG3588 saltG217 loses its savorG3471, withG1722 whatG5101 will it be seasonedG741? 35It isG1510 fitG2111 neitherG3777 forG1519 the soilG1093 norG3777 forG1519 the manure pileG2874, and itG846 is thrownG906 outG1854.

He whoG3588 hasG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.”
