³⁷Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;

³⁸and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

³⁹Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
