Ephesians 5:2

Imitators Of God

¹ Be ye therefore imitators of God as his dear children; and walk in love, ² even as Christ hath loved us, and given Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of sweet perfume. ³ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or inordinate desire, let it not be even named among you; for so it becometh saints:

For Us

Gave Himself

On Our Behalf
