For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

For what will a man give in exchange for his life?

If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire,

If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched --

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

Jesus therefore said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves.

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.

This is the bread which came down out of heaven -- not as our fathers ate the manna, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."

It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
