Mark 8:36

Weymouth NT

Why, what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?

See the chapter Copy

Why, what benefit will it be to a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give to buy back his life?

For whoever is bent on securing his life will lose it, but he who loses his life for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News, will secure it.

For what could a man give to buy back his life?

Why, what benefit is it to a man to have gained the whole world, but to have lost or forfeited his own self.

At that time, then, what benefit did you get from conduct which you now regard with shame? Why, such things finally result in death.
