38 Joka ei ota ristiään ja seuraa minua, se ei kelpaa minulle.

39 Joka varjelee elämäänsä, kadottaa sen, mutta joka elämänsä minun tähteni kadottaa, on sen löytävä.

37 He who loves father or mother above me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me.

38 And he who does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.

39 He that finds his life shall lose it, and he who has lost his life for my sake shall find it.
