'For My Sake' in the Bible

"Blessed are you when they have insulted and persecuted you, and have said every cruel thing about you falsely for my sake.

and you will even be put on trial before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness to them and to the Gentiles.

To save your life is to lose it, and to lose your life for my sake is to save it.

For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake shall find it.

And whoever for my sake receives one young child such as this, receives me.

And whoever has forsaken houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or children or lands, for my sake, shall receive many times as much and shall have as his inheritance the Life of the Ages.

For whoever is bent on securing his life will lose it, but he who loses his life for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News, will secure it.

"Whoever for my sake receives one such young child as this, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not so much me as Him who sent me."

"In solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that there is no one who has forsaken house or brothers or sisters, or mother or father, or children or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the Good News,

"You yourselves must be on your guard. They will deliver you up to Sanhedrins; you will be brought into synagogues and cruelly beaten; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to be witnesses to them for me.

For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake shall save it.

and said to them, "Whoever for my sake receives this little child, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives Him who sent me. For the lowliest among you all--he is the greatest."

"But before all these things happen they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you up to synagogues and to prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my sake.

"It is not for my sake," said Jesus, "that that voice came, but for your sakes.

For I will let him know the great sufferings which he must pass through for My sake."

And you endure patiently and have borne burdens for My sake and have never grown weary.
