John 15:13

American Standard Version (1901)

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

See the chapter Copy

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.

and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.

even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
