²⁶ What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? ²⁷ For the Son of Man^(A) is going to come^(B) in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.^(C)

⁸ Watch out that you do not lose what we^[a] have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.^(A)

⁵ But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship,^(A) do the work of an evangelist,^(B) discharge all the duties of your ministry.

⁶ For I am already being poured out like a drink offering,^(C) and the time for my departure is near.^{(D) 7} I have fought the good fight,^(E) I have finished the race,^(F) I have kept the faith. ⁸ Now there is in store for me^(G) the crown of righteousness,^(H) which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day^(I)—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.^(J)
