31. Or what king going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32. Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an embassy, and desireth conditions of peace.
33. So likewise, whoever he is of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34. Salt is good: but if the salt hath lost its savor, with what shall it be seasoned?
35. 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.
