Mark 8:34-9:1
Take Up Your Cross
34And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to 1come after Me, he must deny himself, and atake up his cross and follow Me. 35“For awhoever wishes to save his 1life will lose it, but whoever loses his 2life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36“For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? 37“For what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 38“For awhoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, bthe Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He ccomes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
