John 12:25

MSG

NIV

25 In the same way, anyone who holds on to life just as it is destroys that life. But if you let it go, reckless in your love, you'll have it forever, real and eternal.
25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
