#39: What is a Man Profited?

[From Lutes edition of Joseph Smith Translation showing deletions (strikethroughs) and corrections (bold) by Joseph Smith.]

Self-Reflection: What is my personal cross?

25 24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
26 And now for a man to take up his cross, is to deny himself all ungodliness, and every worldly lust, and keep my commandments.
27 25 Break not my commandments for to save your lives; for whosoever will save his life in this world, shall lose it in the world to come.
28 25 And whosoever will lose his life in this world, for my sake, shall find it in the world to come.
29 26 Therefore, forsake the world, and save your souls; 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?*
