²⁵ He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

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

¹⁶ Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

⁹ In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God 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.
