Alive in Christ

^6 (A)Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,

³¹ Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For ^(A)the Gentiles seek after all these things, and ^(B)your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. ³³ But ^(C)seek first ^(D)the kingdom of God and his righteousness, ^(E)and all these things will be added to you.

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

²⁴ Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him ^(A)deny himself and ^(B)take up his cross and follow me. ²⁵ For ^(C)whoever would save his life^[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. ²⁶ For ^(D)what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or ^(E)what shall a man give in return for his soul? ^27 (F)For the Son of Man is going to come with ^(G)his angels in the glory of his Father, and ^(H)then he will repay each person according to what he has done.
