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

So Jesus answered and said, Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, on account of Me and the gospel,

who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time; houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.

So He said to them, Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, on account of the kingdom of God,

who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.

But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it dawned upon the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

And another of His disciples said to Him, Lord, let me first go away and bury my father.

But Jesus said to him, Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.

He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

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

If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.

Blessed are you when they shall revile and persecute you, and shall say every evil word against you falsely because of Me.

And you will be hated by everyone on account of My name. But he who endures to the end will be kept safe.

Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you, and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name.

If you are reproached for the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. According to them He is blasphemed, but according to you He is glorified.

because they went forth on behalf of His name, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: this indeed a hundredfold, that sixty, that thirty.

But that which was sown on the good ground is he who hears the Word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: this a hundredfold, that sixty, that thirty.

And behold, one came and said to Him, Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?

Then the King will say to those on His right hand, Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
