John 12:24-27
New King James Version
24 Most assuredly, I say to you, (A)unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much [a]grain. 25 (B)He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves Me, let him (C)follow Me; and (D)where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.

27 “Now my soul is troubled,(E) and what shall I say? ‘Father,(F) save me from this hour’?(G) No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.
