NETBible

Whoever tries to keep¹ his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life² will preserve it.

NET Notes

¹tn Or “tries to preserve”; Grk “seeks to gain.”

¹sn If there is no willingness to suffer the world’s rejection at this point, then one will not respond to Jesus (which is trying to keep his life) and then will be subject to this judgment (which is losing it).

²sn Whoever loses his life. Suffering and persecution caused by the world, even to death, cannot stop God from saving (Luke 12:4-6).
