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

For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

Therefore, I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
