Contemporary English Version
25 (A) If you want to save your life,[a] you will destroy it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find it. 26 What will you gain, if you own the whole world but destroy yourself? What would you give to get back your soul?
27 (B) The Son of Man will soon come in the glory of his Father and with his angels to reward all people for what they have done.
