He who has found his life will lose it, while he who, for my sake, has lost his life shall find it.
Whoever is eager to get the most out of his life will lose it; but whoever will lose it shall preserve it.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life--that man shall save it.
He who loves his life loses it; while he who hates his life in the present world shall preserve it for Immortal Life.
Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. The Devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tempted, and may undergo persecution for ten days. Be faithful even to death, and I will give you the Crown of Life.
