For, what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and be made to forfeit his life?
For what shall a man be profited, though, the whole world, he gain, and, his life, he forfeit? Or what shall a man give, in exchange for his life?
For, when he dieth, he shall take, nothing, his glory shall not descend after him;
For what doth a man profit, who hath gained the whole world, but hath lost, or been made to forfeit, himself?
What fruit, therefore, had ye then—in things for which ye now are taking shame to yourselves? For, the end of those things, is death.
Ye have said, Vain is it to serve God,—and, What profit when we have kept his charge, or when we have walked gloomily before Yahweh of hosts?
Then the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, Skin for skin, and so, all that a man hath, will he give for his life.
Unto GOD, can a man act as friend? Surely a discreet man befriendeth himself!
For, whosoever willeth, his own life, to save, shall lose it, but, whosoever shall lose his life for the sake of me and of the glad-message, shall save it;
For what can a man, give, in exchange for his life?
