Genesis 44:33

Now please let your servant remain here as my lord’s slave, in place of the boy. Let him go back with his brothers.

Now if You would only forgive their sin. But if not, please erase me from the book You have written.”

For rarely will someone die for a just person—though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die.

For I could almost wish to be cursed and cut off from the Messiah for the benefit of my brothers, my own flesh and blood.

So Jesus has also become the guarantee of a better covenant.

This is how we have come to know love: He laid down His life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers.
