Matthew 16 — Context

Because whoever has a desire to keep his life safe will have it taken from him; but whoever gives up his life because of me, will have it given back to him.

For what profit has a man, if he gets all the world with the loss of his life? or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he will give to every man the reward of his works.

Truly I say to you, There are some of those here who will not have a taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
