 # for my sake and for the gospel
 
-"because of me and because of the gospel." Jesus is talking about people who lose their lives because they follow Jesus and the gospel. This can be stated clearly. Alternate translation: "because he follows me and tells others the gospel" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
+"because he follows me and tells others the gospel"
