Luke:14:25-35

*
And there went great multitudes with him :
and he turned ,
and said unto them ,
*
If any man come to me ,
and hate not his father ,
and mother ,
and wife ,
and children ,
and brethren ,
and sisters ,
yea ,
and his own life also ,
he cannot be my disciple .
*
And whosoever does not bear his cross ,
and come after me ,
cannot be my disciple .
*
For which of you ,
intending to build a tower ,
sits not down first ,
and counts the cost ,
whether he have sufficient to finish it ?
*
Lest lest by any means ,
after he has laid the foundation ,
and is not able to finish it ,
all that behold it begin to mock him ,
*
Saying ,
This man began to build ,
and was not able to finish .
*
Or what king ,
going to make war against another king ,
sits not down first ,
and consults whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that comes against him with twenty thousand ?
*
Or else ,
while the other is yet a great way off ,
he sends an embassy ,
and desires conditions of peace .
*
So likewise ,
whosoever he be of you that forsakes not all that he has ,
he cannot be my disciple .
*
Salt is good :
but if the salt have lost his savour ,
wherewith shall it be seasoned ?
*
It is neither fit for the land ,
nor yet for the dunghill ;
but men cast it out .
He that has ears to hear ,
let him hear .
