Luke 9:23

American Standard Version (1901)

And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

See the chapter Copy

for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;

instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world;

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

Let us therefore go forth unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
