NETBible

For whoever wants to save his life 1  will lose it, 2  but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

NET Notes

tn Or “soul” (throughout vv. 25-26).

sn The point of the saying whoever wants to save his life will lose it is that if one comes to Jesus then rejection by many will certainly follow. If self-protection is a key motivation, then one will not respond to Jesus and will not be saved. One who is willing to risk rejection will respond and find true life.
