¹³ Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

¹¹ I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.

² and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.

¹⁵ even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

⁶ For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly.

⁷ For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for peradventure for the good man some one would even dare to die.

⁸ But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God.

⁸ He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

⁹ Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.

¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son `to be' the propitiation for our sins.

¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
