Matthew 10:39
Douay-Rheims
He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it.
Remigius of Auxerre
The life in this place is not to be understood as the substance, (the soul,) but as this present state of being; and the sense is, He who findeth his life, i. e. this present life, he who so loves this light, its joys and pleasures, as to desire that he may always find them; he shall lose that which he wishes always to keep, and prepare his soul for eternal damnation.
