Mt 16, Verses 26–28English original

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you. There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

For there is no difference of Jew or Gentile, man or woman, poor or rich, whore not persons but works are accepted.
