Psalm 49:7

Yet these cannot redeem a person
or pay his ransom to God—

What will it benefit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life—a ransom for many.”

“The sensible ones answered, ‘No, there won’t be enough for us and for you. Go instead to those who sell, and buy oil for yourselves.’

who gave Himself—a ransom for all,
a testimony at the proper time.

For you know that you were redeemed from your empty way of life inherited from the fathers, not with perishable things like silver or gold,

or called fine gold my trust,

A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city;
in his imagination it is like a high wall.

What can a man give in exchange for his life?
