Then Jesus went to work on his disciples. “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

Those who want to save their lives will give up true life, and those who give up their lives for me will have true life.

For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.

For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

For whoever wishes to save his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], but whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake will find it [that is, life with Me for all eternity].

If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.

For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for my glory, you will continually discover true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try to keep.

For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
