Matthew 10:38 Douay-Rheims

And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me.

Hilary of Poitiers

c. A.D. 310–367 Patristic

Or; They that are Christ’s have crucified the body with its vices and lusts. (Gal. 5:24.) And he is unworthy of Christ who does not take up His cross, in which we suffer with Him, die with Him, are buried and rise again with Him, and follow his Lord, purposing to live in newness of spirit in this sacrament of the faith.
