For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life on account of Me shall find it.

For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give [as] an exchange for his soul?

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's, will save it.

For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul?

Whoever seeks to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life shall preserve it.

He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it for eternal life.

according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be ashamed, but with utmost boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

For to me, to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.

For I am already being poured out [as a drink offering], and the time of my departure has arrived.

Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not only to me, but also to all those who have loved His appearing.

Fear none of those things which you are about to suffer. Behold indeed, the devil is about to cast [some] of you into prison, so that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
