Mark 8:34 Context
32And he spake that saying openly. And Peter tooke him, and beganne to rebuke him. 33But when he had turned about, and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou sauourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. 34¶ And when he had called the people vnto him, with his disciples also, he said vnto them, Whosoeuer will come after me, let him denie himselfe, and take vp his crosse and follow mee. 35For whosoeuer will saue his life shall lose it, but whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake and the Gospels, the same shall saue it. 36For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gaine the whole world, and lose his owne soule?

Thus only can he follow me in holiness to glory.
