I wasn't suggesting suicide as a proper reading of this verse, I was just saying 'destroy your soul to save it' sounds a little that way.
I was mainly wondering if there was possibly a connection between 'nefesh chayah' and 'nafsheh nache'.
Shlama Akhi Aaron:
Sorry, what is "nache"? Please be specific. Where did you find the phrase "naphsheh nache"? I can search, I think it is Luqa 9:24, but for the sake of those that are following this thread I want to leave a record of the book, chapter and verse whether in the T"NK (Jewish Bible), A"NK (Peshitta Old Testament) or the Peshitta New Testament.
Shlama,
Stephen
