Priorities? body vs. soul

"Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Mark 8:37


As the man is more noble than the house he dwells in, so is the soul more noble than the body. And yet, alas! with grief be it spoken, how common is it for men to spend all their care, all their time, all their strength, all their wit and parts for the body, and its honor and preferment, even as if the soul were some poor, pitiful, sorry, inconsiderable, and under thing, not worth the thinking of, or not worth the caring for.

excerpt from John Bunyan's book, The Greatness of the Soul
