John 15:13

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

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

See the chapter Copy

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness.

As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.

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

And for them do I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

In this we have known the charity of God, because he hath laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
