37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
37 For what can a man give in return for his soul?
37 What could you ever trade your soul for?
37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
37 Is anything worth more than your soul?
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 8:37
Commentary on Mark 8:34-38
(Read Mark 8:34-38)
Frequent notice is taken of the great flocking there was to Christ for help in various cases. All are concerned to know this, if they expect him to heal their souls. They must not indulge the ease of the body. As the happiness of heaven with Christ, is enough to make up for the loss of life itself for him, so the gain of all the world in sin, will not make up for the ruin of the soul by sin. And there is a day coming, when the cause of Christ will appear as glorious, as some now think it mean and contemptible. May we think of that season, and view every earthly object as we shall do at that great day.
