Luke 9:25-27

Expanded Bible

²⁵ ·It is worthless [^LWhat good/profit/benefit is it…?] to ·have [gain] the whole world if they themselves are destroyed or lost. ²⁶ ·If people are [^LFor whoever is] ashamed of me and my ·teaching [message; words], then the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and with the glory of the Father and the holy angels. ²⁷ I tell you the truth, some people standing here will not ·die [^Ltaste death] before they see the kingdom of God.” [^C“Seeing the kingdom of God” may refer to the Transfiguration which follows (9:28–36), Jesus’ resurrection, or the destruction of Jerusalem in ad 70.]
