Luke 9:23-27
New Matthew Bible
23 And he said to them all, If any person would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 Whosoever would save his life shall lose it, but whosoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it. 25 For what does it profit a man to win the whole world, if he loses himself, or runs in harm’s way? 26 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my sayings, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in his own glory, and in the glory of his Father, and of the holy angels. 27 And I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste of death till they see the kingdom of God.

Luke 9:23-27
1599 Geneva Bible
23 ¶ (A)And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross [a]daily, and follow me.
24 (B)For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 (C)For what advantageth it a man, if he win the whole world, and destroy himself, or lose himself?
26 (D)For whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his glory, and in the glory of the Father, and of the holy Angels.
27 (E)And I tell you of a surety, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God.

Luke 9:23-27
Authorized (King James) Version
23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
