Mark 8:34-36

Wycliffe Bible

³⁴ And when the people was called together, with his disciples, he said to them, If any man will come after me, deny he himself, and take his cross, and follow he me [deny he himself, and take his cross, and follow me].

³⁵ For he that will make safe his life, shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for me, and for the gospel, shall make it safe. [Soothly who so will make his soul, that is, his life, safe, he shall lose it; forsooth he that shall lose his soul, that is, his life, for me and the gospel, shall make it safe.]

³⁶ For what profiteth it to a man^[a], if he win all the world, and do impairing to his [own] soul?
