Luke 17:34

32 Remember Lot’s wife!

33 Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: One will be taken and the other left.

35 Two women will be grinding grain together: One will be taken and the other left.”
