John 12:25

³⁹He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

²³He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross,^[+] and follow me. ²⁴For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.

³⁵For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.

³³Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.

²⁵For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

²⁶“If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard^[+] his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.

²⁹Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

²⁴But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

¹¹They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death.

¹⁷So I hated life, because the work that is worked under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a chasing after wind.
