   "And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a   
   certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee   
   whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus said unto him, Foxes   
   have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of   
   man hath not where to lay his head. And he said unto   
   another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go   
   and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury   
   their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. And   
   another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me   
   first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.   
   And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the   
   plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."   
   Luke 9:57-62, KJV   
      
   "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. And whosoever   
   doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my   
   disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower,   
   sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he   
   have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid   
   the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that   
   behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to   
   build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, going to   
   make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and   
   consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him   
   that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while   
   the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage,   
   and desireth conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he   
   be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be   
   my disciple. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his   
   savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit   
   for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out.   
   He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."   
   Luke 14:26-35, KJV   
      
   "And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you   
   fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and   
   followed him."   
   Matthew 4:19-20, KJV   
      
   "And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I   
   will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus saith   
   unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air   
   have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his   
   head. And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord,   
   suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said   
   unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead."   
   Matthew 8:19-22, KJV   
      
   "And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He   
   that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of   
   me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not   
   worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and   
   followeth after me, is not worthy of me."   
   Matthew 10:36-38, KJV   
      
   "And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or   
   sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or   
   lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and   
   shall inherit everlasting life."   
   Matthew 19:29, KJV   
      
   "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth   
   and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and   
   steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where   
   neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not   
   break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there   
   will your heart be also."   
   Matthew 6:19-21, KJV   
      
   "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the   
   one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one,   
   and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.   
   Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life,   
   what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your   
   body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat,   
   and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for   
   they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns;   
   yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much   
   better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one   
   cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment?   
   Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil   
   not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even   
   Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.   
   Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to   
   day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not   
   much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take   
   no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we   
   drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all   
   these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father   
   knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye   
   first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all   
   these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no   
   thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought   
   for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the   
   evil thereof."   
   Matthew 6:24-34, KJV   
      
   "But my God shall supply all your need according to his   
   riches in glory by Christ Jesus."   
   Philippians 4:19, KJV   
      
   "Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee   
   the desires of thine heart."   
   Psalms 37:4, KJV   
      
   "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto   
   thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,   
   and he shall direct thy paths."   
   Proverbs 3:5-6, KJV   
      
   "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed   
   on thee: because he trusteth in thee."   
   Isaiah 26:3, KJV   
      
   "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he   
   that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a   
   rewarder of them that diligently seek him."   
   Hebrews 11:6, KJV
