Exegesis
The second clause mirrors this structure but inverts the outcome: apolesei functions as protasis (“whoever will lose”) and sōsei {σώσει | só-sei} as apodosis (“will save it”), creating a stark antithetical parallelism.
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.
