There is no price
Mark 8:34-38 YLT98
[34] And having called near the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, ‘Whoever doth will to come after me — let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me; [35] for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news' sake, he shall save it; [36] for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? [37] Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life? [38] for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.’

@swirlie if you could speak with authority in the way of righteousness, you would know that said way is not of the world
For as Jesus himself was not of the world, but was sent into the world, also those who are adopted as His sons are also sent, knowing some of them will die, and in these soon times come as it is written many will be put to death for the word of God and the witness of Jesus
It is written that we would be hated by the world, because we are no longer of the world, that if we were of the world the world would love its own, but that He has taken us out of the world, He has shown us His more excellent way, and it is not the way of the world
