GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 16:21-28
21 - From this time Jesus began to tell his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, rulers, leaders, chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and on the third day be raised back up. 22 Peter took him aside and said, “Not so Lord! Far be it from you! This shall never happen!” 23 But Jesus said, “Get behind me, adversary! You are acting as a hindrance to me. You are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone will come after me, let them deny their self, take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would (compromise, relent, in order to) save their life will lose it (the real life and self, the higher calling) but whoever loses his (worldly, earthly, lower) life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a person if they gain all the world and forfeit their soul (self, real being)? Or what shall a person give in exchange for their soul? [PsyxαΈ - from psyxΕ - to breathe, blow, which is the root of the English words psyche, psychology – soul (psyche); a person's distinct identity (unique personhood), i.e. individual personality] (self). 27 For (what matters is) the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father! And then shall he repay each person according to what they have done. (And been.) 28 Truly, I say to you, there are some here standing, who won’t die until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” (Logically, upon the first ‘church’ age Pentecost, and the gospel’s onward march conquering and to conquer openly victorious - until the “falling away” has occurred, all mankind’s empires on only sand. Then when all is done and completed, all the world and existence conquered.)

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ Romans 15:8-13 ~
8 - For I tell you, Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness — in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs — 9 and — in order that the Gentiles/nations might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will praise you among the nations! I will sing to your name!” (Name - reputation.) 10 And again it is said, “Rejoice, O nations, with his people.” 11 And again, “Praise the Lord, all you nations! Let all the peoples praise him.” (All will praise him, according to how when God says “let” as in “let there be light” and “let us create mankind in our likeness”/character. Is.45:23!) 12 And again Isaiah says, “The root of Jesse will come, even he who arises to rule the nations. In him the nations will trust [elpizΓ³ - to expect, hope for, anticipate].”
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing! So that by the POWER of the Holy Spirit you may ABOUND in hope [elpis - expectation, hope, trust, confidence, from elpΕ - to anticipate, welcome – properly, expectation of what is sure]. (Our trust depends on letting our conscience be appeased by that strong happening and image of the faithful love and earnestness of God toward us - Christ Crucified, which surely? There was no other way, as it has to cover and work for even the most cruel, vile and merciless, and for the most lost of us, throughout this unavoidable and all important contrast we call history - which is obviously not done yet.)
