In Matthew 13:50, the wicked are cast into the furnace — the very loss of self Jesus warns against.

In Psalm 49:6-8, the psalmist says no one can ransom their own life with wealth — the same truth that worldly gain cannot save one's soul.

In Matthew 18:9, the same teaching: better to lose a part than be thrown into hell — reinforcing the cost of losing oneself.

In Matthew 5:29, Jesus says it's better to lose a part than the whole — the same calculus as gaining the world vs losing self.
