For whoever wants to save his soul will lose it; but whoever loses his soul for the sake of me and the good news will save it. ” Jesus here used the word “soul ” to mean“ life. ”
فَإِنَّ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ نَفْسَهُ يَخْسَرُهَا ،‏ أَمَّا مَنْ خَسِرَ نَفْسَهُ فِي سَبِيلِي وَسَبِيلِ ٱلْبِشَارَةِ فَيُخَلِّصُهَا › » .‏
