²³ And He was saying to them all, “^(A)If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. ²⁴ For ^(B)whoever wants to save his ^[a]life will lose it, but whoever loses his ^[b]life for My sake, this is the one who will save it.

³³ So then, none of you can be My disciple who ^(A)does not ^[a]give up all his own possessions.

^14 (A)Pursue peace with all people, and the ^(B)holiness without which no one will ^(C)see the Lord.

¹⁵ but ^[a](A)like the Holy One who called you, ^[b](B)be holy yourselves also ^(C)in all your behavior; ¹⁶ because it is written: “^(D)You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

⁴⁸ Therefore ^(A)you shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
