them: If any man will follow me, let him deny himself and take up his
cross and follow me.
8:35. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever
shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel shall save it.
8:36. For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and
suffer the loss of his soul?
8:37. Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul:
8:38. For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this
adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of
him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
8:39. And he said to them: Amen f say to you that there are some of them
that stand here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of
God coming in power.
