Matthew 16:24-27

24Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

25For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

26For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life?

27For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.
