Matthew 16:24-28

24Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me.

25If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.

26And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?

27For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds.

28And I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.”
