'Sake' in the Bible

Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.

For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.

And He said to them, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

who devour widows’ houses, and for appearance’s sake offer long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

“But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name’s sake.
