2Cor 5:14-15, 8:8-9, Gal 5:6, Eph 3:16-18, 6:24, Phili 1:20-23, 3:7-11 | ESV | STEP | For the love of Christ controls us , because we have concluded this : that one has died for all , therefore all have died ;

2 Corinthians 5:14-15

14 For the love of Christ ^acontrols us, because we have concluded this: that ^bone has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, ^cthat those who live might no longer live for themselves but ^dfor him who for their sake died and was raised.

2 Corinthians 8:8-9

8 ^eI say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine. 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ^fthough he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.

Galatians 5:6

6 For in Christ Jesus ^gneither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but ^honly faith working through love.

Ephesians 3:16-18

16 that according to ⁱthe riches of his glory ^jhe may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit ^kin your inner being, 17 ^lso that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being ^mrooted and ⁿgrounded in love, 18 may have strength to ^ocomprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and ^pheight and depth,

Ephesians 6:24

24 Grace be with all who ^qlove our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible.

Philippians 1:20-23

20 as it is my eager expectation and hope ^rthat I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full ^scourage now as always Christ ^twill be honored in my body, ^uwhether by life or by death. 21 For to me ^vto live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 ^wI am hard pressed between the two. My desire is ^xto depart and ^ybe with Christ, for that is far better.

Philippians 3:7-11

7 But ^zwhatever gain I had, ^aaI counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of ^abthe surpassing worth of ^acknowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I ^adhave suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having ^aea righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but ^afthat which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10 ^agthat I may know him and ^ahthe power of his resurrection, and ^aimay share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may ^ajattain the resurrection from the dead.
