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 is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me,

38 and whoever doth not receive his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.

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