11 I am the fine shepherd;+ the fine shepherd surrenders his soul in behalf of the sheep.+

7 For hardly will anyone die for a righteous [man];+ indeed, for the good+ [man], perhaps, someone even dares to die.+

2 and go on walking in love,+ just as the Christ also loved YOU+ and delivered himself up for YOU as an offering+ and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling odor.+

16 By this we have come to know love,+ because that one surrendered his soul* for us;+ and we are under obligation to surrender [our] souls* for [our]* brothers.+
