19 We love others because God first loved us.
9 You know how much love our Lord Jesus Christ had. He was rich, but he became poor for your sakes. Because he became poor, you can become rich.
10 This is love! We did not love God, but he loved us. And he sent his Son to be the sacrifice to pay for the wrong things we have done.
35 Who can take us away from Christs love? We may have trouble. We may have hard times. People may make us suffer because we believe. We may have no food to eat and no clothes to wear. We may be in danger. We may be killed with big knives. Can any of these things take us away from Christs love?
36 The holy writings say, For your sake we are killed all day. We are like sheep ready to be killed.
37 But Christ loved us. He has helped us to win great victory in all these things.
5 May Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace. What he says is true. He was the first to rise from death. And he is ruler of the kings of the earth. He loves us. By his own blood death he has made us free from the wrong things we have done.
6 He has made us into kings and priests to his God and Father. Praise him! He is great and has power for ever! Yes, it is so!
16 God loved the world so very, very much that he gave his only Son. Because he did that, everyone who believes in him will not lose his life, but will live for ever.
1 So try to be like God, because you are his own dear children.
2 Love others as Christ has loved us. He gave his life for us, a sweet smelling offering and a sacrifice to God.
8 God shows his love for us in this way: Christ died to save us while we were bad people.
16 Christ died for us. That is how we know what love is. We also should be willing to die for our brothers.
1 See how much the Father has loved us! We are called Gods children. It is true, we are Gods children. People in this world did not know him and so they do not know us.
13 The strongest love anyone can have is this. He will die to save his friends.
39 I know this. Death, life, angels, rulers, things happening now, things that will happen, high things, low things; nothing else in all the world can come between us and Gods love in Christ Jesus our Lord.
