For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

Verse 35 is found in chapter 8 of Mark. Jesus announces his passion for the first time and corrects Peter when he attempts to reject it. Discipleship is defined by denying oneself, taking up the cross, and following Jesus, so that the Messiah’s identity also determines the identity of his followers.

Denn wer sein Leben will behalten, der wird's verlieren; und wer sein Leben verliert um meinet- und des Evangeliums willen, der wird's behalten.
Porque el que quisiere salvar su vida, la perderá; y el que perdiere su vida por causa de mí y del evangelio, la salvará.
Porque quien quiera salvar su vida la perderá; pero quien pierda su vida por causa de mí y del evangelio la salvará.
Car celui qui voudra sauver sa vie la perdra, mais celui qui perdra sa vie à cause de moi et de la bonne nouvelle la sauvera.
Perciocchè, chiunque avrà voluto salvar la vita sua la perderà; ma, chi avrà perduta la vita sua, per amor di me, e dell’evangelo, esso la salverà.
Porque qualquer que quiser salvar a sua vida, perdê-la-á, mas, qualquer que perder a sua vida por amor de mim e do evangelho, esse a salvará.
因為凡要救自己生命的,必喪失生命;凡為我和福音喪失生命的,必救自己的生命。
