38 Se recusarem levar a vossa cruz e seguir-me, não merecem ser meus.

39 Se se agarrarem à vida, perdê-la-ão; se a perderem por amor de mim, salvá-la-ão.

37 He that loveth father or mother above me, is not, worthy, of me,and, he that loveth son or daughter above me, is not, worthy, of me;

38 And, he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not, worthy, of me.

39 He that hath found his life, shall lose it,and, he that hath lost his life, for my sake, shall find it.
