Luke 14:25-35

25And greatG4183 crowdsG3793 went with him; and, turningG4762 round, he saidG3004 to them, 26If any man comeG2064 to me, and shall not hateG3404 his ownG1438 fatherG3962 and motherG3384, and wifeG1135, and childrenG5043, and brothersG80, and sistersG79, yea, and his ownG1438 lifeG5590 too, he cannot beG1510 my discipleG3101; 27and whoever does not carryG941 his crossG4716 and comeG2064 after me cannot beG1510 my discipleG3101. 28For which of you, desirous of buildingG3618 a towerG4444, does not firstG4413 sitG2523 downG2523 and count the cost, if he have what [is needed] to complete it; 29in orderG2443 that, having laidG5087 the foundationG2310 of it, and not being ableG2480 to finishG1615 it, all who seeG2334 it do not beginG757 to mockG1702 at him, 30sayingG3004, This manG444 beganG757 to buildG3618 and was not ableG2480 to finishG1615? 31Or what kingG935, goingG4198 on his way to engage in warG4171 with another kingG935, does not, sittingG2523 downG2523 firstG4413, take counsel whether he isG1510 ableG1415 with tenG1176 thousandG5505 to meet him comingG2064 against him with twentyG1501 thousandG5505? 32and if not, while he isG1510 yet farG4206 off, having sentG649 an embassy, he asksG2065 for terms of peaceG1515. 33Thus thenG3767 every oneG3739 of you who forsakes not all that isG1510 his ownG1438 cannot beG1510 my discipleG3101. 34SaltG217 [then] [is] goodG2570, but if the saltG217 alsoG2532 has becomeG3471 savourless, wherewith shall it be seasonedG741? 35It isG1510 proper neither for landG1093 nor for dung; it isG1510 castG906 out. He that hath earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.
