1 John 4:9-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him.(A) 10 In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.(B) 11 Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another.(C) 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.(D)
13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world.

Isaiah 53:4-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 Surely he has borne our infirmities
and carried our diseases,
yet we accounted him stricken,
struck down by God, and afflicted.(A)
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions,
crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the punishment that made us whole,
and by his bruises we are healed.(B)
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have all turned to our own way,
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.(C)
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.(D)
8 By a perversion of justice he was taken away.
Who could have imagined his future?
For he was cut off from the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people.(E)
9 They made his grave with the wicked
and his tomb[a] with the rich,[b]
although he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.(F)
10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with affliction.
When you make his life an offering for sin,[c]
he shall see his offspring and shall prolong his days;
through him the will of the Lord shall prosper.(G)
11 Out of his anguish he shall see;
he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge.
The righteous one,[d] my servant, shall make many righteous,
and he shall bear their iniquities.(H)
12 Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,
because he poured out himself to death
and was numbered with the transgressors,
yet he bore the sin of many
and made intercession for the transgressors.(I)
