Luke 14:26-35 'If any one does come unto me, and does not hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple;

RYLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁶ 'If any one does come unto me, and does not hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple; ²⁷ and whoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, is not able to be my disciple. ²⁸ 'For who of you, willing to build a tower, does not first, having sat down, count the expense, whether he have the things for completing? ²⁹ lest that he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are beholding may begin to mock him, ³⁰ saying -- This man began to build, and was not able to finish. ³¹ 'Or what king going on to engage with another king in war, does not, having sat down, first consult if he be able with ten thousand to meet him who with twenty thousand is coming against him? ³² and if not so -- he being yet a long way off -- having sent an embassy, he does ask the things for peace. ³³ 'So, then, every one of you who does not take leave of all that he himself has, is not able to be my disciple. ³⁴ 'The salt is good, but if the salt does become tasteless, with what shall it be seasoned? ³⁵ neither for land nor for manure is it fit -- they cast it without. He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.'
