TSK · Luke 9:23

‹And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.›

And when he had called the people [unto him] with his disciples also, he said unto them, ‹Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.›

‹He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.›

And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
