John 15:13

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

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 giveth his life for the sheep.

and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

As the Father knoweth me, even so know I 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 also might be sanctified through the truth.

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