³⁴ And He summoned the crowd together with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, ^(A)take up his cross, and follow Me. ³⁵ For ^(B)whoever wants to save his ^[a]life will lose it, but whoever loses his ^[b]life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. ³⁶ For what does it benefit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? ³⁷ For what could a person give in exchange for his soul? ³⁸ For ^(C)whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, ^(D)the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He ^(E)comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

¹⁶ that He would grant you, according to ^(A)the riches of His glory, to be ^(B)strengthened with power through His Spirit in ^(C)the inner ^[a]self, ¹⁷ so that ^(D)Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being ^(E)rooted and ^(F)grounded in love, ¹⁸ may be able to comprehend with ^(G)all the ^[b]saints what is ^(H)the width and length and height and depth, ¹⁹ and to know ^(I)the love of Christ which ^(J)surpasses knowledge, that you may be ^(K)filled to all the ^(L)fullness of God.
