Sacrifice

13Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

2Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

28so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

24For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.

3To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice.

3For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

13But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

45For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

28They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.

29They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

9Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase:

32He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

6For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

13Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

14who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

9But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh.”

7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

46Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

18“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

19and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”

36He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”

14how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

28even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
