Matthew 10:39

JMNT(i) 39 "The person who is searching and then finding his own soul (his own will, his intellect, his emotions and his self-life as his goals; his self-seeking, self-possessed persona and identity), will be repeatedly losing it. And yet the person loosing-away or destroying his soul (his own will, his self-centered life of a self-seeking, self-possessed persona and identity, his emotions, his plans and goals) on account of Me – will be progressively finding and discovering it [i.e., his true self, identity and purpose].
