And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.

And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
