““Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
““What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
“What shall it profit you to gain the whole world and lose your soul and lose such a heaven as this?”
“What will you profit if you gain the whole world and lose your soul?”
“And if any man in the world has a business which causes him to lose his own soul for want of time, let him lay this question to his heart, “What shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
“” Hear you this then, “If any man be ashamed of me, and of my words in this generation; of him will I be ashamed, when I shall come in the glory of my Father, with all his holy angels.”
