Genesis 44:33

So then, please let your servant remain in place of the boy as a slave to my lord, and let the boy go up with his brothers.

And now if you will forgive their sin--and if not, please blot me from your scroll that you have written."

For only rarely will someone die on behalf of a righteous person (for on behalf of a good person possibly someone might even dare to die),

For I could wish myself to be accursed from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my fellow countrymen according to the flesh,

by so much more Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

We have come to know love by this: that {he} laid down his life on behalf of us, and we ought to lay down our lives on behalf of the brothers.
