‏ 1 John 3:16

v. 16: John reminds us of the example Jesus set for us. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren (1 John 3:16 ^a). Jesus, who is God’s Son, died for us. This amazing love should encourage us to love others in the same way—being willing to sacrifice for them.
