Matthew 16:24-26

MSG

NIV

24 Then Jesus went to work on his disciples. "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.
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
25 Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self.
25 For whoever wants to save their lifewill lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
26 What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?
26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
