Matthew 16:25-27

MSG

NIV

25 Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self.
25 For whoever wants to save their lifewill lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
26 What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?
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 "Don't be in such a hurry to go into business for yourself. Before you know it the Son of Man will arrive with all the splendor of his Father, accompanied by an army of angels. You'll get everything you have coming to you, a personal gift.
27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.
