ગુજરાતીમાર્ક ૮:૩૬
કેમ કે જો માણસ આખું ભૌતિક જગત મેળવે પણ તેના જીવને ગુમાવશે, તો તેથી તેને શો લાભ થાય?
हिन्दीमरकुस ८:३६
यदि मनुष्य सारे जगत को प्राप्त करे और अपने प्राण की हानि उठाए, तो उसे क्या लाभ होगा?

In context

34He called the multitude to himself with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

35For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.

36For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?

37For what will a man give in exchange for his life?

38For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
