Matthew 20:26-28
New International Version
26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,(A) 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man(B) did not come to be served, but to serve,(C) and to give his life as a ransom(D) for many.”
John 10:14-15
New International Version
14 “I am the good shepherd;(A) I know my sheep(B) and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father(C)—and I lay down my life for the sheep.(D)
John 15:13
New International Version
13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.(A)
Romans 5:8
New International Version
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.(A)
1 John 3:16
New International Version
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.(A) And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.(B)
1 John 4:9-21
New International Version
9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son(A) into the world that we might live through him.(B) 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us(C) and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.(D) 11 Dear friends,(E) since God so loved us,(F) we also ought to love one another.(G) 12 No one has ever seen God;(H) but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.(I)
13 This is how we know(J) that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.(K) 14 And we have seen and testify(L) that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.(M) 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God,(N) God lives in them and they in God.(O) 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love.(P) Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.(Q) 17 This is how love is made complete(R) among us so that we will have confidence(S) on the day of judgment:(T) In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear,(U) because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
19 We love because he first loved us.(V) 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister(W) is a liar.(X) For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen,(Y) cannot love God, whom they have not seen.(Z) 21 And he has given us this command:(AA) Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.(AB)
