Profit and Loss

The World's Question:
"What is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto Him?" Job 21:15.
God's Answer: “Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come," 1 MM. 4:8.
But— "What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36.
