For whoever will save his life, shall lose it. But whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.

For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, but lose his own life? Or, what will a man give as the ransom of his life?

For this reason I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what you shall eat, and what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not your life a greater gift than food, and your body than clothing?

He that finds his life shall lose it; and he that loses his life for my sake, shall find it.
