Matthew 16:24-26

24Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any one desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

25For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.

26For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
