NETBible

The one who loves his life¹ destroys² it, and the one who hates his life in this world guards³ it for eternal life.

NET Notes

¹tn Or “soul.”

²tn Or “loses.” Although the traditional English translation of ἀπολλύει (apolluei) in John 12:25 is “loses,” the contrast with φυλάξει (fulaxei, “keeps” or “guards”) in the second half of the verse favors the meaning “destroy” here.

³tn Or “keeps.”
