Daniel 7:13-14

English Standard Version

The Son of Man Is Given Dominion

¹³“I saw in the night visions,

and ^(A)behold, with the clouds of heaven
    there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the ^(B)Ancient of Days
    and was presented before him.
¹⁴^(C)And to him was given dominion
    and glory and a kingdom,
that all ^(D)peoples, nations, and languages
    should serve him;
^(E)his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
    which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
    that shall not be destroyed.

Philippians 2:5-11

English Standard Version

⁵^(A)Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,^[a] ⁶^(B)who, though he was in ^(C)the form of God, did not count equality with God ^(D)a thing to be grasped,^[b] ⁷but ^(E)emptied himself, by taking the form of a ^(F)servant,^[c] ^(G)being born in the likeness of men. ⁸And being found in human form, he humbled himself by ^(H)becoming obedient to the point of death, ^(I)even death on a cross. ⁹^(J)Therefore ^(K)God has ^(L)highly exalted him and bestowed on him ^(M)the name that is above every name, ¹⁰so that at the name of Jesus ^(N)every knee should bow, ^(O)in heaven and on earth and under the earth, ¹¹and ^(P)every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is ^(Q)Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

English Standard Version

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

²⁴Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him ^(A)deny himself and ^(B)take up his cross and follow me. ²⁵For ^(C)whoever would save his life^[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. ²⁶For ^(D)what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or ^(E)what shall a man give in return for his soul? ²⁷^(F)For the Son of Man is going to come with ^(G)his angels in the glory of his Father, and ^(H)then he will repay each person according to what he has done. ²⁸Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not ^(I)taste death ^(J)until they see the Son of Man ^(K)coming in his kingdom.”
