He that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.—Christ suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps.

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
