For what would it profit a man, though he should gain the whole world, if he be punished with the loss of his own soul?

For whosoever shall give you even a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to the Messiah, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

For whosoever would preserve his life shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake, shall preserve it.

For what advantage hath a man in gaining all the would, if he destroy himself, or be punished with the loss of life?

What man is there of you, possessing an hundred sheep, though he lose but one of them, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it to life eternal.
