rsv Luke:14:28-35 SEEK

*
For which of you ,
desiring to build a tower ,
does not first sit down and count the cost ,
whether he has enough to complete it ?
*
Otherwise ,
when he has laid a foundation ,
and is not able to finish ,
all who see it begin to mock him ,
*
saying , `
This man began to build ,
and was not able to finish .'
*
Or what king ,
going to encounter another king in war ,
will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand ?
*
And if not ,
while the other is yet a great way off ,
he sends an embassy and asks terms of peace .
*
So therefore ,
whoever of you does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple .
* "
Salt is good ;
but if salt has lost its taste ,
how shall its saltness be restored ?
*
It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill ;
men throw it away .
He who has ears to hear ,
let him hear ."
