John 15:13

James Moffatt - New Testament

To lay life down for his friends, man has no greater love than that.

See the chapter Copy

I am the good shepherd; a good shepherd lays down his own life for the sheep.

and lead lives of love, just as Christ loved you and gave himself up for you to be a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

(just as the Father knows me and I know the Father,) and I lay down my life for the sheep.

I tell you, my friends, have no fear of those who kill the body but after that can do no more;

and for their sake I consecrate myself that they may be consecrated by the truth.

We know what love is by this, that He laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for the brotherhood.
