Antallagma denotes what a person might offer in return for life or soul in the questions of Mark 8:37 and Matthew 16:26.

The attested use concerns a proposed offering in return for a person's life or soul, framed in both verses as a question about what could be given.

    In Mark 8:37, the accusative singular neuter form occurs in the question of what a man can give regarding his life; the APB renders the clause "what can a man give in exchange for his life?" In Matthew 16:26, the same form follows the contrast between gaining the whole world and forfeiting the soul, and the APB renders "what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the clause with "give in exchange," once concerning life and once concerning the soul. This wording confirms the clause's overall presentation rather than isolating a precise English token for the lemma.
