Matthew 16:24-28

24Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Those who want to come with me must say no to the things they want, pick up their crosses, and follow me.

25Those who want to save their lives will lose them. But those who lose their lives for me will find them.

26What good will it do for people to win the whole world and lose their lives? Or what will a person give in exchange for life?

27The Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father’s glory. Then he will pay back each person based on what that person has done.

28I can guarantee this truth: Some people who are standing here will not die until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
