for whosoever wishes to save his soul shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose his soul for My sake shall find it;

["For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost."]

For whosoever would save his soul shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his soul for My sake and the Gospel's, shall save it.

For whosoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because ye are Christ's, verily I say to you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

For whosoever wishes to save his soul shall lose it; but whosoever will lose his soul for My sake, the same shall save it.

For what is a man profited, in having gained the whole world, but having lost or forfeited himself?

and, coming to his house, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, because I found my sheep, which was lost.

"Or what woman, having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently, till she finds it?

And, having found it, she calls together her female friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me; because I found the piece which I lost!'

because this my son was dead, and came to life again; had been lost, and was found.' And they began to be merry.

But it was meet to make merry, and rejoice; because this your brother was dead, and came to life again; and had been lost, and was found."

Whosoever shall seek to gain his soul shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose it, will preserve it.

for the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which is lost."

And, when they were filled, He saith to His disciples, "Gather up the pieces that remain over, that nothing be lost."

And this is the will of Him Who sent Me, that of all that He hath given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.

But what things were gain to me, these I accounted loss for Christ.

Nay, more, I even account all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I suffered the loss of all things, and account them refuse, that I may gain Christ.

Take heed to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which we wrought, but that ye receive a full reward.
