Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us.
[I John.3:16]
The love of Christ, which passeth knowledge. ■ Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ■ Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. ■ Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. ■ Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. ■ Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. ■ For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. ■ Christ ... suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps.
[Eph.3:19 | John.15:13 | II Cor.8:9 | I John.4:11 | Eph.4:32 | Col.3:13 | Mark.10:4,5 | I Pet.2:21]
Ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. ■ We ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
[John.13:14,15 | I John.3:16]
