²⁵ Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.^{(A) 26} Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honor.^(B)

²⁹ And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or^[a] children or fields for my name’s sake will receive a hundredfold^[b] and will inherit eternal life.
