John 12:23-25

New Matthew Bible

²³ And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come that the Son of man must be glorified. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, unless the wheat seed falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. If it dies, it brings forth much fruit. ²⁵ He who loves his life will destroy it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it unto life eternal.
