John 10:17-18

17 aFor this reason the Father loves me, bbecause cI lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 dNo one takes it from me, but eI lay it down fof my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and gI have authority to take it up again. hThis charge I have received from my Father.”

Titus 2:14

14 iwho gave himself for us to jredeem us from all lawlessness and kto purify for himself la people for his own possession who are mzealous for good works.
