Luke 14:27-33

27Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

28For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?

29Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him,

30saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'

31Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

32And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace.

33So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
