Matthew 16:25 in Context — Matthew 16

23 Mas ele se virou, e disse a Pedro: Para trás de mim, Satanás! Tu és um meio de tropeço, porque não compreendes as coisas de Deus, mas sim as humanas.

24 Então Jesus disse a seus discípulos: Se alguém quiser vir após mim, negue-se a si mesmo, tome sobre si a sua cruz, e siga-me.

25 Pois qualquer um que quiser salvar a sua vida a perderá; porém qualquer um que por causa de mim perder a sua vida, [este] a achará.

26 Pois que proveito há para alguém, se ganhar o mundo todo, mas perder a sua alma? Ou que dará alguém em resgate da sua alma?

27 Pois o Filho do homem virá na glória do seu Pai com os seus anjos, e então recompensará a cada um segundo as suas obras.
