Matthew 16:24-28
World English Bible
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life? 27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds. 28 Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.”

Discipleship Is Costly
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, (A)take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 For (B)whoever wants to save his [a]life will lose it; but whoever loses his [b]life for My sake will find it. 26 For what good will it do a person if he gains the whole world, but [c]forfeits his soul? Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the (C)Son of Man (D)is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and (E)will then repay every person according to his [d]deeds.
28 “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the (F)Son of Man (G)coming in His kingdom.”
