1John.3.16

This is how we've come to understand and experience love: Christ sacrificed his life for us. This is why we ought to live sacrificially for our fellow believers, and not just be out for ourselves.

1John.3.16

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

1John.3.16

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.

1John.3.16

We know what real love is because Christ gave up his life for us. And so we also ought to give up our lives for our Christian brothers and sisters.
