according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be ashamed, but with utmost boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

If anyone speaks, [let him speak] as the utterances of God. If anyone serves, [let him serve] as from strength, as God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

but inasmuch as you partake in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, in order that also at the unveiling of His glory, you may rejoice with great happiness.

knowing that the putting off of my tent is soon, just as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

Jesus said to him, "If I will that he remain till I come, what is [that] to you? You follow Me."

And if anyone serve Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant shall be also. If anyone serve Me, him My Father will honor.

Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?" Jesus answered him, "Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but later you will follow Me."

Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will lay down my life for You."

But My servant Caleb, because there was another spirit in him, and he followed Me, I will bring him into the land into which he entered, and his seed shall inherit it.

And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: you have [indeed] done all this wickedness; only turn not from following the Lord, and serve the Lord with all your heart.

And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go off to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised the third day.

But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block unto Me, because you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."

For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life on account of Me shall find it.

So Jesus said to them, "Assuredly I say to you, that in the Regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

But when He had turned and saw His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, "Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's, will save it.

Or what shall a man give [as] an equivalent for his soul?

saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised on the third day."

For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake shall save it.

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels.
