²³Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.^(A) ²⁴For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.^(B) ²⁵What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? ²⁶Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them^(C) when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.^(D)

²⁷“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

Luke 9:23-27

New American Standard Bible

²³And 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. ²⁴For ^(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. ²⁵For what good does it do a person if he gains the whole world, but ^(C)loses or forfeits himself? ²⁶^(D)For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and the glory of the Father and the holy angels. ²⁷But I say to you truthfully, ^(E)there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
