FOLLOWING THE
LORD
Matthew
16:24-27
"Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let
him
deny
himself,
and take up
his
cross,
and
follow
me.
25. For
whosoever will
save
(no
self denial)
his
life
[yuch, soul]
shall
lose
[apollumi,
perish]
it: and whosoever will
lose
[apollumi,
perish]
his
life
[yuch,
soul]
for my sake shall find it.
26. For what
is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own
soul
[yuch,
life]?
or what shall a man give in exchange for his
soul
[yuch,
life]?
27. For 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."
John
12:24-26
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the
ground and
die,
it abideth alone: but if it
die,
it bringeth forth much fruit.
25. He that
loveth his
life
[yuch,
soul]
shall
lose
[apollumi,
perish]
it; and he that hateth his life
[yuch,
soul]
in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
26. If any
man
serve
me, let him
follow
me;
and where I am, there shall also
my
servant
be:
if any man serve me,
him
will my Father honour."
1
Thessalonians 5:23
"And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God
your whole spirit and
soul and body be
preserved [keep, guard]
blameless . . .”
1
Corinthians 6:18-20
"Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but
he that committeth fornication
sinneth
against his own body.
19. What?
know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,
which ye have of God, and
ye are
not your own?
20. For ye
are
bought
with a price:
therefore
glorify
God in your body,
and
in your
spirit,
which are God's."
Romans
12:1-2
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye
present
your bodies
a living
sacrifice,
holy,
acceptable
[wellpleasing]
unto God, which is your
reasonable
service.
2. And be not
conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind,
that ye may
prove
what is that good, and
acceptable
[wellpleasing],
and perfect, will of God."
Romans
2:6-11
"Who will render to every man according to his
deeds:
7. To them
who by
patient
continuance in
well
doing
seek for
glory and
honour and
immortality
[incorruption],
eternal
[agelasting]
life:
8. But unto
them that are
contentious, and do
not
obey the truth, but
obey
unrighteousness,
indignation and wrath,
9.
Tribulation and
anguish, upon every
soul of man that
doeth
evil, of the
(saved)
Jew first, and also
of the
(saved)
Gentile;
10. But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the (saved) Jew first, and also to the (saved) Gentile: 11. For there is no respect of persons with God."
