Mat 16:25 | Clarke | e4.org | Verse 25. For whosoever will save his life ] That is, shall wish to save his life -at the expense of his conscience, and casting aside the cross, he shall lose it -the very evil he wishes to avoid shall overtake him; and he shall lose his soul into the bargain. See then how necessary it is to renounce one's self! But whatsoever a man loses in this world, for his steady attachment to Christ and his cause, he shall have amply made up to him in the eternal world.
