NASB
""For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it?"
— Luke 14:28, NASB
“For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?”
“For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have wherewith to complete it? ”
“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?”
“For which of you, wanting to build a tower, doesn’t sit down first and compute the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?”
“For which of you, having a mind to build a tower, doth not first sit down and reckon the charges that are necessary, whether he have wherewithal to finish it:”
“For which of you, desiring to put up a tower, does not first give much thought to the price, if he will have enough to make it complete?”
“For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?”
Now large crowds were going along with Him; and He turned and said to them,
"If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.
"Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.
"For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it?
"Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him,
saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'
"Or what king, when he sets out to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and consider whether he is strong enough with ten thousand men to encounter the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
