Matthew 16:26
16:26 For what does it benefit a person
if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life?
Proverbs 5:8-14
5:8 Keep yourself far from her,
and do not go near the door of her house,
5:9 lest you give your vigor to others
and your years to a cruel person,
5:10 lest strangers devour your strength,
and your labor benefit another man’s house.
5:11 And at the end of your life you will groan
when your flesh and your body are wasted away.
5:12 And you will say, “How I hated discipline!
My heart spurned reproof!
5:13 For I did not obey my teachers
and I did not heed my instructors.
5:14 I almost came to complete ruin
in the midst of the whole congregation!”
Mark 8:36
8:36 For what benefit is it for a person
to gain the whole world, yet
forfeit his life?
Luke 9:24-25
9:24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
9:25 For what does it benefit a person
if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?
