Jesus continues to tell his disciples the cost of following him.
## follow me ##
"come with me as a disciple"
## deny himself ##
"not give in to his own desires" or "forsake his own desires."
## take up his cross, and follow me ##
"lift up his cross, carry it, and walk behind me," being willing to suffer and die the way Christ did (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
## For whoever wants ##
"For anyone who wants"
## if he gains the whole world ##
"if he gains everything in the world"
## but forfeits his life ##
"he himself is lost or destroyed"
