Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends.
And I say to you, my friends, Have no fear of those who may put the body to death, and are able to do no more than that.
I am the good keeper of sheep: the good keeper gives his life for the sheep.
Even as the Father has knowledge of me and I of the Father; and I am giving my life for the sheep.
And for them I make myself holy, so that they may be made truly holy.
And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell.
In this we see what love is, because he gave his life for us; and it is right for us to give our lives for the brothers.
