This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
24. ὃς γὰρ ἂν θέλῃ κ.τ.λ. The words imply whosoever shall make it his main will to save his life. See by way of comment the fine fragment (probably) of a very early Christian hymn in 2Ti 2:11-12, and observe that ψυχὴ means the natural, animal life of which the main interests are in the earth. This rule of voluntary self-abnegation as the basis of the Christian life is so important that our Lord repeated it several times, Luk 17:33; Mat 10:39; Joh 12:25.
