Gospel: Luke 14:25-33
25 Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
26 "If anyone comes to me, and doesn't disregard† his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can't be my disciple.
27 Whoever doesn't bear his own cross, and come after me, can't be my disciple.
28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn't first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
30 saying, 'This man began to build, and wasn't able to finish.'
31 Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace.
33 So therefore whoever of you who doesn't renounce all that he has, he can't be my disciple.
†14:26: or, hate

Romans 13:8-10
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbour has fulfilled the law.
9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal,"* "You shall not covet," ☆ and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbour as yourself."☆
10 Love doesn't harm a neighbour. Love therefore is the fulfilment of the law.
*13:9: TR adds "You shall not give false testimony,"
☆13:9: Exodus 20:13-15,17; Deuteronomy 5:17-19,21
☆13:9: Leviticus 19:18
