1 Thessalonians 5:10

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
