# What good is it ... forfeit himself?
The implied answer to this question is that it is not good. Alternate translation: "It will not benefit someone at all to gain the whole world, and yet lose himself." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
# to gain the whole world
"to get everything in the world"
# lose or forfeit himself
"ruin himself or give up his life"
