Matthew 16:24-28

Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it.For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels: and then will he render to every man according to his works.Amen I say to you, there are some of them that stand here, that shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ
