Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

Verse 33 is found in chapter 17 of Luke. The teachings about the kingdom and the persistent widow combine eschatology, justice, and prayer. Waiting for the kingdom does not eliminate the need to persevere in faith while awaiting God’s intervention.

Wer da sucht, seine Seele zu erhalten, der wird sie verlieren; und wer sie verlieren wird, der wird ihr zum Leben helfen.
Cualquiera que procurare salvar su vida, la perderá; y cualquiera que la perdiere, la salvará.
El que procure conservar su vida la perderá; pero el que la pierda la mantendrá viva.
Celui qui cherchera à sauver sa vie la perdra, et celui qui la perdra la retrouvera.
Chiunque avrà cercato di salvar la vita sua la perderà; ma chi l’avrà perduta farà ch’ella viverà.
Qualquer que procurar salvar a sua vida, perdê-la-á, e qualquer que a perder, salvá-la-á.
凡想保全性命的,要喪失性命;凡喪失性命的,要保存性命。
