Lose or win.

 

Luke 9: 24-26

"Anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, will save it.

What benefitis it to anyone to win the whole world and forfeit or lose his very self?

For if anyone is ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man will be ashamed when he comes in his own glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels".

John 12: 25

"Anyone who loves his life loses it; anyone who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life".

Luke 20: 34-36

"The children of this world take wives and husbands, but those who are judged worthy of a place in the other world and in the resurrection from the dead do not marry, because they can no longer die, for they are the same as the angels and being children of the resurrection they are children of God".
