Berean Standard Bible
“What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?”
Right after telling his disciples he must suffer and die, Jesus called the crowd together with them and explained the cost of following him: denying oneself and taking up the cross. This verse is part of his reasoning about why that cost is worth it.
