³⁹ He who finds his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

³³ Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.

²⁵ He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

³⁵ For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the Gospel's will save it.

³⁶ For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

²⁵ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

²⁶ For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

²⁰ according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

²¹ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

¹⁰ Don't be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

²⁴ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.

⁶ For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.

⁷ I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.

⁸ From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
