truly, truly, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remains alone; and if it may die, it bears much fruit;
25 He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
he who is cherishing his life will lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world will keep it to continuous life; (aiōnios g166)

Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them.
“He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn, and I might heal them”;

46 I am come into the world [as] light, that every one that believes on me may not abide in darkness;
I—light to the world—have come, that everyone who is believing in Me may not remain in the darkness;
47 and if any one hear my words and do not keep [them], I judge him not, for I am not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
and if anyone may hear My sayings, and not believe, I do not judge him, for I did not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
48 He that rejects me and does not receive my words, has him who judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day.
He who is rejecting Me, and not receiving My sayings, has one who is judging him, the word that I spoke, that will judge him in the last day,
49 For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I should speak;
because I did not speak from Myself, but the Father who sent Me, He gave Me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,
