Mark 8:36

A Conservative Version

For what will it profit a man if he should gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?

See the chapter Copy

For what does it profit a men, if he should gain the whole world, and lose his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend after him.

For what is a man benefited, having gained the whole world, but having lost or having forfeited himself?

What fruit therefore did ye have then, of which things ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

Ye have said, It is vain to serve God, and what profit is it that we have kept his charge, and that we have walked mournfully before LORD of hosts?

And Satan answered LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man has he will give for his life.

Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life because of me and the good-news, this man will save it.

Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
