Gill's Notes on the Bible
For what is a man advantaged if he gain the whole world,.... Or what profit will it be unto him? all the honours, riches, and enjoyments of it will be of no use and service to him if he himself is lost:
and lose himself; or his own soul; for he that loses his soul, which is his better and immortal part, loses himself:
or be cast away: finally, and eternally, or "suffer loss" of eternal happiness and glory; that is, perishes, and is destroyed with an everlasting destruction; :-.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the Matthew 16:13-27 notes; Mark 8:27-38 notes.
Luke 9:20
The Christ of God - The “Anointed” of God. The “Messiah” appointed by God, and who had been long promised by him. See the notes at Matthew 1:1.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 25. Lose himself — That is, his life or soul. See the parallel places, Matthew 16:25; Mark 8:35, and especially the note on the former.
Or be cast away? — Or receive spiritual damage η ζημιωθεις. I have added the word spiritual here, which I conceive to be necessarily implied. Because, if a man received only temporal damage in some respect or other, yet gaining the whole world must amply compensate him. But if he should receive spiritual damage - hurt to his soul in the smallest degree, the possession of the universe could not indemnify him. Earthly goods may repair earthly losses, but they cannot repair any breach that may be made in the peace or holiness of the soul. Matthew 16:26.
