Luke 17:33

JMNT(i) 33 "Whoever may endeavor to build an encompassing protection (a perimeter of defense; or: make a form or a structure to encircle; or: set boundaries or lines of demarcation) around his soul-life (his inner being with its will, desires, emotions, appetites, affections, passions; or: himself) will be progressively loosing it away and destroying it. Yet whoever may be loosing it away (or: destroying it) will continue bringing it forth as a living creature (will engender it to be a living being; will produce it alive as a child or offspring). (or: = “Folks who try to make their lives secure will lose them, but in contrast, a person who can free it will give it life.)
