Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 1. Every man has a soul of his own. 2. It is possible for the soul to be lost; and there is danger of it. 3. If the soul is lost, it is the sinner's own losing; and his blood is on his own head. 4. One soul is worth more than all the world. 5. The winning of the world is often the losing of the soul. 6. The loss of the soul cannot be made up by the gain of the whole world. 7. If the soul be once lost, it is lost for ever; and the loss can never be repaired or retrieved. (Matthew Henry.)
