Luke 9:23-25

International Children’s Bible

²³ Jesus went on to say to all of them, “If anyone wants to follow me, he must say ‘no’ to the things he wants. Every day he must be willing even to die on a cross, and he must follow me. ²⁴ Whoever wants to save his life will lose it. And whoever gives his life for me will save it. ²⁵ It is worth nothing for a man to have the whole world, if he himself is destroyed or lost.
