ગુજરાતીલૂક ૯:૨૫
જો કોઈ માણસ આખું ભૌતિક જગત જીતે પણ પોતાની જાતને ખોઈ બેસે અથવા તેને હાનિ પહોંચવા દે તો તેને શો લાભ?
हिन्दीलूका ९:२५
यदि मनुष्य सारे जगत को प्राप्त करे, और अपना प्राण खो दे, या उसकी हानि उठाए, तो उसे क्या लाभ होगा?

In context

23He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

24For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.

25For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

26For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

27But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”
