John 15:13

English Majority Text Version

Greater love has no one than this, that one should lay down his life on behalf of his friends.

See the chapter Copy

"And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have nothing further they can do.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

Just as the Father knows Me, I also know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

And walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a fragrant aroma.

By this we have come to know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives in behalf of our brothers.
