but go rather to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel.

He that preserveth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall preserve it.

And whosoever shall give to one of these little ones, if but a cup of cold water to drink, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

And all the multitudes were lost in amazement, and they said, Is not this the son of David?

But he said in reply, I am not sent, save only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

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

For what would a man be advantaged, though he could gain the whole world, if he should suffer the loss of his soul? or what will a man give as the ransom for his soul?

For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
