Luke 14:33

In the same way therefore not one of you can be my disciple if he does not renounce all his own possessions. ¹ 

Lu 5:11,28; Lu 14:26; Lu 18:22,23,28-30; Ac 5:1-5; Ac 8:19-22; Php 3:7,8; 2Ti 4:10; 1Jo 2:15,16

¹ tn Grk “Likewise therefore every one of you who does not renounce all his own possessions cannot be my disciple.” The complex double negation is potentially confusing to the modern reader and has been simplified in the translation. See L&N 57.70.

sn The application of the saying is this: Discipleship requires that God be in first place. The reference to renunciation of all his own possessions refers to all earthly attachments that have first place.
