John 12:25 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

He that loveth his life - See on Matthew 10:39 (note); Luke 14:26 (note). I am about to give up my life for the salvation of men; but I shall speedily receive it back with everlasting honor, by my resurrection from the dead. In this I should be imitated by my disciples, who should, when called to it, lay down their lives for the truth; and, if they do, they shall receive them again with everlasting honor.
