37 He who has more love for his father or mother than for me is not good enough for me; he who has more love for son or daughter than for me is not good enough for me.

38 And he who does not take his cross and come after me is not good enough for me.

39 He who has the desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, and he who gives up his life because of me will have it given back to him.

37 爱父母过于爱我的， 不配作属我的； 爱儿女过于爱我的， 不配作属我的；

38 凡不背起自己的十字架来跟从我的， 也不配作属我的。

39 顾惜自己生命的， 必要丧掉生命； 但为我牺牲生命的， 必要得着生命。
