8:34 |
And calling to the "crowd" together with his disciples ... |
| |
he said to them ... If anyone is willing to be following behind me ... |
| |
let him renounce himself ... |
| |
and let him raise his cross ... |
| |
and let him be following me. |
8:35 |
For if who ever may be willing to save his soul ... |
| |
he shall be destroying it ... |
| |
but whoever destroys his soul for my sake and the "good news" ... |
| |
he will save it. |
8:36 |
For what is it benefiting a man to gain the whole
cosmos ... |
| |
and to lose his soul? |
| 8:37 |
For what may a man be giving in exchange for his soul? |
| 8:38 |
For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in
this adulterous and sinful generation ... |
| |
also the "son of man" will be ashamed
of him ... |
| |
when he comes in the glory of his father with
the "holy messengers." |
