Mark 8:35

¹¹This saying is trustworthy: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him. ¹²If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us. ¹³If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can’t deny himself.”

²³Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.

³³Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.

⁸Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,

²⁵For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

²⁵He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life. ²⁶If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

³⁹He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

²⁹Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

²⁴For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.

¹⁰Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
