27 (A)Whoever does not (B)bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not (C)first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31 Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not (D)sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. 33 (E)So therefore, any one of you who (F)does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.

Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. 33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.(B)

34 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?(C)
