He that finds his life shall lose it: and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it.
All Commentaries on Matthew 10:39 Go To Matthew 10
Rabanus Maurus
AD 856
He is unworthy of the divine communion who prefers the carnal affection of kindred to the spiritual love of God.
Otherwise; He who seeks an immortal life, does not hesitate to lose his life, that is, to offer it to death. But either sense suits equally well with that which follows, “And whoso shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.”
