Self-sacrificing
Self-sacrificing
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;
And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you,
so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.
Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share,
that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
