hos gar e-AN THE-lêi tên psy-KHÊN au-TOU SÔ-sai a-po-LE-sei au-TÊN hos de an a-po-LE-sei tên psy-KHÊN au-TOU HE-ne-ken e-MOU KAI tou eu-an-ge-LI-ou SÔ-sei au-TÊN
Exegesis
The single preposition heneken governs both emou and tou euangeliou {ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ καὶ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου | hé-ne-ken e-moû kaì toû eu-an-ge-lí-ou}, specifying that only loss for Jesus and the gospel aligns with the promised saving. English SVO order is maintained, and the repetition of “lose” and “save” highlights the rhetorical paradox.
In context — Mark 8:35
For whoever seeks to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel will save it.
