마가복음 8장 34-37절

그리고 예수께서 제자들과 함께 무리를 불러 놓고 그들에게 말씀하셨다. "나를 따라오려고 하는 사람은, 자기를 부인하고, 자기 십자가를 지고, 나를 따라오너라.  누구든지 제 목숨을 구하고자 하는 사람은 잃을 것이요, 누구든지 나와 복음을 위하여 제 목숨을 잃는 사람은 구할 것이다.  사람이 온 세상을 얻고도 제 목숨을 잃으면, 무슨 이득이 있겠느냐? 사람이 제 목숨을 되찾는 대가로 무엇을 내놓겠느냐?_새번역성경

それから 群衆を 弟子たちと 一緖に 呼び 寄せて， 彼らに 言われた， 「だれでもわたしについてきたいと 思うなら， 自分を 捨て， 自分の 十字架を 負うて， わたしに 從ってきなさい．自分の 命を 救おうと 思う 者はそれを 失い， わたしのため， また 福音のために， 自分の 命を 失う 者は， それを 救うであろう．人が 全世界をもうけても， 自分の 命を 損したら， なんの 得になろうか．また， 人はどんな 代價を 拂って， その 命を 買いもどすことができようか．_口語訳

And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.  "For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it. "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? "For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?_NASB

Calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “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. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? What could you ever trade your soul for?_The Message
