The one who loves his life 1  destroys 2  it, and the one who hates his life in this world guards 3  it for eternal life.

NET © Notes

1 tn Or “soul.”

2 tn Or “loses.” Although the traditional English translation of ἀπολλύει (apolluei) in John 12:25 is “loses,” the contrast with φυλάξει (fulaxei, “keeps” or “guards”) in the second half of the verse favors the meaning “destroy” here.

3 tn Or “keeps.”
