Denn wer sein Leben erhalten will, der wird's verlieren; wer aber sein Leben verliert um meinetwillen, der wird's finden.
Porque cualquiera que quisiere salvar su vida, la perderá, y cualquiera que perdiere su vida por causa de mí, la hallará.
Porque quien quiera salvar su vida la perderá; pero quien pierda su vida por causa de mí la encontrará.
Car celui qui voudra sauver sa vie la perdra, mais celui qui la perdra à cause de moi la trouvera.
Perciocchè, chi avrà voluto salvar la vita sua la perderà; ma chi avrà perduta la vita sua, per amor di me, la troverà.
Porque aquele que quiser salvar a sua vida, perdê-la-á, e quem perder a sua vida por amor de mim, achá-la-á.
因為凡要救自己生命的,要喪失生命;凡為我喪失生命的,要得著生命。
