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。

37 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me. 38 He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me. 39 He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
