²⁹ So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother ^[a]or wife or children or ^[b]lands, for My sake and the gospel’s,

²³ Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.

^11 (B)Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of ^(C)evil against you falsely for My sake.

³⁵ For ^(A)whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.

²⁴ By faith ^(A)Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the ^[a]passing pleasures of sin, ²⁶ esteeming ^(B)the ^[b]reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures ^[c]in Egypt; for he looked to the ^(C)reward.

Promises to Abram^(A)

12 Now the ^(B)Lord had said to Abram:

³ and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have ^(A)not become weary.

²⁸ “But you are those who have continued with Me in ^(A)My trials. ²⁹ And ^(B)I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me, ³⁰ that ^(C)you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, ^(D)and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

^18 (A)You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
