Take Up the Cross and Follow Him^(A)

^23 (B)Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross ^[a]daily, and follow Me. ^24 (C)For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

³³ So likewise, whoever of you ^(A)does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.

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

^15 (A)but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, ¹⁶ because it is written, ^(B)“Be holy, for I am holy.”

^48 (A)Therefore you shall be perfect, just ^(B)as your Father in heaven is perfect.
