But the angel said to them, "Put away all fear; for I am bringing you good news of great joy--joy for all the People.

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

Any man who makes it his object to keep his own life safe, will lose it; but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

who shall not certainly receive many times as much in this life, and in the age that is coming the Life of the Ages."

and I will say to my life, "'Life, you have ample possessions laid up for many years to come: take your ease, eat, drink, enjoy yourself.'
