There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death. (Eccl. 8:8)
What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Mark 8:36‑37)
Had I wealth and love in fullest measure,
With a name renowned both far and near,
Yet no hope beyond, no harbor waiting,
Where my storm-tossed vessel I could
   steer.
If I gained the world, but lost the
   Savior,
Who endured the cross and died for me,
Could then all the world afford a refuge
Whither in my anguish I might flee?
