  1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

  2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  7 even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,

  8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

  9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

  10 that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

  11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,

- Gospel

  Luke 14:25–35

  **Show the text**

  25 Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,

  26 “If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.

  27 Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross, and come after me, can’t be my disciple.

  28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

  29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

  30 saying, ‘This man began to build, and wasn’t able to finish.’

  31 Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

  32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace.

  33 So therefore whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.

  34 Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?

  35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
