| Matthew 16:25 | *For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it. Luke 17:33.; John 12:25. | Whosoever will save his life. Literally, his soul. In the style of the Scriptures, the word soul is sometimes put for the life of the body, sometimes for the whole man. (Witham) --- Whosoever acts against duty and conscience to save the life of his body, shall lose eternal life; and whoever makes the sacrifice of his life, or the comforts and conveniences of life for conscience sake, shall be rewarded with life eternal. |
