As I have loved you
As I have loved you…

The love of Christ, which passeth knowledge. -Ephesians 3:19

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. -John 15:13

Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. -2 Corinthians 8:9

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. -1 John 4:11

Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. -Ephesians 4:32

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. -Colossians 3:13

For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. -Mark 10:45

Christ . . . suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps. -1 Peter 2:21

Ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. -John 13:14,15

We ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. -1 John 3:16
