Matthew 16:25-27

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁵ Whoever wants to keep his life safe will lose it. But whoever gives his life to serve me will have true life. ²⁶ A person may get everything in the whole world for himself. But if he loses his life, it will not be any good for him. There is nothing that a person can give to get back his life. ²⁷ I tell you all this because I, the Son of Man, will come back to this earth with God's angels. When I come, I will have the powerful beauty of my Father. I will see what each person has done on earth. Then I will pay them what is right.
