5. Mósebók 30: 15- 20

30:15Consider what I have set forth in your sight this day, life and good, eða, on the opposite side, death and evil,
30:16so that you may love the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and so that you may live, and he may multiply you and bless you in the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.
30:17But if your heart will have been turned aside, so that you are not willing to listen, og, having been deceived by error, you adore strange gods and serve them,
30:18then I predict to you this day that you will perish, and you will remain for only a short time in the land, for which you shall cross the Jordan, and which you shall enter in order to possess.
30:19I call heaven and earth as witnesses this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Þess vegna, choose life, so that both you and your offspring may live,
30:20and so that you may love the Lord your God, and obey his voice, and cling to him, (for he is your life and the length of your days) and so that you may live in the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Ísak, og Jakob, that he would give it to them.”

Lúkas 9: 22- 25

9:22að segja, „Því að Mannssonurinn þarf að líða margt, og verða hafnað af öldungum og foringjum prestanna og fræðimannanna, og vera drepinn, og rís upp á þriðja degi."
9:23Þá sagði hann við alla: „Ef einhver er til í að koma á eftir mér: láttu hann afneita sjálfum sér, og taka kross sinn á hverjum degi, og fylgdu mér.
9:24Því hver sem mun hafa bjargað lífi sínu, mun missa það. En hver sem mun hafa týnt lífi sínu mín vegna, mun bjarga því.
9:25Því hvernig gagnast það manni, ef hann fengi allan heiminn, samt missa sig, eða valda sjálfum sér skaða?
