he was reviled and made no retort, he suffered and never threatened, but left everything to Him who judges justly; he bore our sins in his own body on the gibbet, that we might break with sin and live for righteousness; and by his wounds you have been healed. You were astray like sheep, but you have come back now to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

for the Son of man himself has not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

For when we were still in weakness, Christ died in due time for the ungodly. For the ungodly!

who died for us that waking in life or sleeping in death we should live together with him.

I am the good shepherd; a good shepherd lays down his own life for the sheep.

If your brother is being injured because you eat a certain food, then you are no longer living by the rule of love. Do not let that food of yours ruin the man for whom Christ died.

for I am controlled by the love of Christ, convinced that as One has died for all, then all have died,

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, Christ lives in me; the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.

Christ ransomed us from the curse of the Law by becoming accursed for us (for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a gibbet),

the man Christ Jesus who gave himself as a ransom for all": ??in due time this was attested,

who gave himself up for us to redeem us from all iniquity and secure himself a clean people with a zest for good works.

what we do see is Jesus who was put lower than the angels for a little while to suffer death, and who has been crowned with glory and honour that by God's grace he might taste death for everyone.

It is your vocation; for when Christ suffered for you, he left you an example, and you must follow his footsteps.

We know what love is by this, that He laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for the brotherhood.

he bore our sins in his own body on the gibbet, that we might break with sin and live for righteousness; and by his wounds you have been healed.

Christ himself died for sins, once for all, a just man for unjust men, that he might bring us near to God; in the flesh he was put to death but he came to life in the Spirit.

For our sakes He made him to be sin who himself knew nothing of sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

so Christ, after being once sacrificed to bear the sins of many, will appear again, not to deal with sin but for the saving of those who look out for him.

and that he died for all in order to have the living live no longer for themselves but for him who died and rose for them.

To lay life down for his friends, man has no greater love than that.

I could have wished myself accursed and banished from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my natural kinsmen;
