1 John 3:16-18
English Standard Version
16 By this we know love, that (A)he laid down his life for us, and (B)we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But (C)if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet (D)closes his heart against him, (E)how does God's love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not (F)love in word or talk but in deed and (G)in truth.

Luke 6:32-36
English Standard Version
32 (A)“If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 And (B)if you (C)lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. 35 But (D)love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and (E)you will be sons of (F)the Most High, for (G)he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. 36 (H)Be merciful, even as (I)your Father is merciful.

Hebrews 2:9-15
English Standard Version
9 But we see him (A)who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, (B)crowned with glory and honor (C)because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might (D)taste death (E)for everyone.
10 For it (F)was fitting that he, (G)for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons (H)to glory, should make the (I)founder of their salvation (J)perfect through suffering. 11 For (K)he who sanctifies and (L)those who are sanctified (M)all have one source.[a] That is why he is not ashamed to call them (N)brothers,[b] 12 saying,
(O)“I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the (P)congregation I will sing your praise.”
13 And again,
(Q)“I will put my trust in him.”
And again,
14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise (T)partook of the same things, that (U)through death he might (V)destroy (W)the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who (X)through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.
