³⁹ `He who found his life shall lose it, and he who lost his life for my sake shall find it.

³³ Whoever may seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever may lose it, shall preserve it.

²⁵ he who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world -- to life age-during shall keep it;

³⁵ for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news' sake, he shall save it;

³⁶ for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

²⁵ for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake shall find it,

²⁶ for what is a man profited if he may gain the whole world, but of his life suffer loss? or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?

²⁰ according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, and in all freedom, as always, also now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,

²¹ for to me to live `is' Christ, and to die gain.

¹⁰ `Be not afraid of the things that thou art about to suffer; lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days; become thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of the life.

²⁴ for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake, he shall save it;

⁶ for I am already being poured out, and the time of my release hath arrived;

⁷ the good strife I have striven, the course I have finished, the faith I have kept,

⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of the righteousness that the Lord -- the Righteous Judge -- shall give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving his manifestation.
