Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.

Whoever finds their life will lose it. Whoever loses their life because of me will find it.

Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.

Anyone who finds his life will lose it, and anyone who loses his life because of me will find it.

The one who has found his life will lose it, and the one who has lost his life on My account will find it.

He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

Anyone finding his life will lose it, and anyone losing his life because of Me will find it.

He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

終為一粒、既化則結實累累矣。惜其生者失其生、惟在世不惜其生者、能保之以達永生。

凡欲苟全其生者、失之；惟自舍其生者、能保其生。

欲救其生者、將喪其生；為予及福音而舍其生者、終必獲生。人雖富有天下、苟失其生、亦有何益？

凡惜其生者、失之；惟為予而捨其生者、得之；夫人雖富有天下、而自喪其靈。何益之有？更將何以贖其靈乎？

爾今後尚將遭受苦難；望爾毋餒。爾其識之。惡魔將投爾中若干人於獄；此所以予爾以磨練耳。且爾將受難十日、望爾忠貞至死、吾當加爾以生命之榮冠。

蓋欲自保其生者、反將失之、惟為予之故、而舍其生者、克保其生。

亦所以償吾心期、終不致有所愧忝。因是平生勇氣、至今未衰。必欲獻吾之身、以弘基督。生可也、死亦可也。自予觀之、生是基督死是福、如是而已矣。

須知予已準備舍生致命矣。予之解脫、即在目前；予之奮鬥、不為徒勞；予之行程、已告完成；予亦何幸而得篤守信德、舍命不渝。今而後已有正義之榮冠、備以待我；一俟彼日之臨、公明之主、將以斯冠加諸我首；豈惟於我為然、凡渴望其來臨者、亦莫不然也。
