25 For ^xwhoever would save his life¹ will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For ^ywhat will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or ^zwhat shall a man give in return for his soul?

28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served but ^kto serve, and ^lto give his life as a ransom for ^mmany.”
