Luke 9:23-25

MSG

NIV

23 Then he told them what they could expect for themselves: "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You're not in the driver's seat - I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I'll show you how.
23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
24 Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self.
24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.
25 What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you?
25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?
