Luke 9:25

Take Up Your Cross

24For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.25What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose or forfeit his very self?26If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
