If the grain of wheat, falling to the ground, does not die, it remains alone;

"If the grain of wheat, falling to the ground, does not die, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much fruit."
"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.
He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life." John 12:24-25
