menu_book Verse in Context

29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t 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.
