What does the Bible say about the value of the soul?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the soul's value far surpasses any earthly gain, as stated in Mark 8:36-37.

The Scriptures emphasize the supreme value of the soul, as highlighted in Mark 8:36-37, where Jesus asks, 'What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?' This passage underlines the futility of pursuing temporal gain at the cost of eternal well-being. When one prioritizes wealth, honor, or pleasure over the state of their soul, they engage in a grave folly, as the soul is man's most precious possession and its loss leads to irrevocable consequences.
