Proverbs 5:8-14
8Keep your way far from her,and do not go near the door of her house,
9lest you give your honor to others
and your years to the merciless,
10lest strangers take their fill of your strength,
and your alabors go to the house of a foreigner,
11and at the end of your life you bgroan,
when your flesh and body are consumed,
12and you say, c“How I hated discipline,
and my heart ddespised reproof!
13I did not listen to the voice of my teachers
or incline my ear to my instructors.
14 eI am at the brink of utter ruin
in the assembled congregation.”
Matthew 16:26
26For fwhat will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or gwhat shall a man give in return for his soul?Mark 8:36
36 hFor what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?Luke 9:24-25
24For iwhoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 25 jFor what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?
