Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. [Luke 9:24 NIV]

What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self! [Luke 9:25 NIV]

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. [Philippians 3:14-15 NIV]
