KJV ORIGINAL
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
If you want to follow me, your love for me has to be so intense that your love for your parents, spouse, kids, siblings — even your own life — looks like hate in comparison. That's the level of commitment we're talking about here.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Following Jesus isn't a side hobby — it's the main character energy that makes everything else secondary.
