John Chapter 12, Verse 25
From BibleWiki
25: ο φιλων την ψυχην αυτου απολεσει αυτην και ο μισων την ψυχην αυτου εν τω κοσμω τουτω εις ζωην αιωνιον φυλαξει αυτην
25: He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his
life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
25: Itself remaineth alone. But if it die it bringeth forth much
fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it and he that hateth his life
in this world keepeth it unto life eternal.
He that loveth his life, &c. This was a favorite principle, a sort of axiom with the Lord Jesus, which he applied to himself as well as to his followers. See "Mt 10:39". See "Lk 9:24".
