^12 (A)This is My ^(B)commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. ^13 (C)Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. ^14 (D)You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. ¹⁵ No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, ^(E)for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

Christ in Our Place

⁶ For when we were still without strength, ^[a]in due time ^(A)Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. ⁸ But ^(B)God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
