24Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

27For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
