What shall be given to you? Or what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue?–
For what is the hope of the godless and polluted, even though he has gained [in this world], when God cuts him off and takes away his life?
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life [his blessed life in the kingdom of God]? Or what would a man give as an exchange for his [blessed] life [in the kingdom of God]?
But then what benefit (return) did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? [None] for the end of those things is death.
