| For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. | For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. |
| For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? | What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? |
