Matthew 16:27

“For the son of man shall come in the glory of his Father, etc.] This is a reason, proving the truth of what is before asserted, that men’s lives may be lost by saving them, and be found by losing them, whatever paradoxes they may seem to be; and that the loss of a soul is irrecoverable, and no compensation can be made for it; and points out the time, when all this will appear: for nothing is more certain, and to be depended upon, than that Christ, who, though he was then a mean and contemptible man, and attended with the sinless infirmities of human nature, wherefore he calls himself, “the son of man”, should come; either a second time to judgment at the last day, in the same glory as his…”
