If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. |
Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. – We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. |
Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. – Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence. |
God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. – I am crucified with Christ. – They that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. |
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us. |
