Luke 14:26

Context
14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate 1  his own father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters, and even his own life, 2  he cannot be my disciple.

1 tn This figurative use operates on a relative scale. God is to be loved more than family or self.

2 tn Grk “his own soul,” but ψυχή (yuch) is frequently used of one’s physical life. It clearly has that meaning in this context.
