45 For even the Son of man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

28 In the same way, the Son of man didn’t come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

18 "Look, we’re going to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and religious teachers. They will condemn him to death 19 and hand him over to the foreigners* to mock him, whip him, and crucify him. But on the third day he will be raised from the dead."

28 They stripped him and put a scarlet cloak on him. 29 They made a crown of thorns and placed it on his head, and put a stick in his right hand. They kneeled down in front of him and mocked him, saying, "We salute you, King of the Jews!"

46 Jesus called out in a loud voice, "Father, I place myself in your hands."* Having said this he breathed his last.*

13 There is no greater love than to give your life for your friends.

6 When we were completely helpless, at just the right time Christ died for us ungodly people.

18 You already know that you were not set free from your pointless way of living that you inherited from your forefathers by things that don’t have lasting value, like silver or gold. 19 You were set free by the costly blood of Christ, who was like a lamb with no flaw or defect.

28 so too for Christ—having been sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people, he will come again, not to deal with sin, but to save those who wait for him.

14 how much more does the blood of Christ—who offered himself in his sinless life to God through the eternal Spirit—clean your consciences from your past sinful lives so you can serve the living God?

7 But if we are living in the light, as he is in the light, then we share in this friendship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, makes us clean from every sin.

3 I passed on to you what I myself had also received, a message of vital importance: that Christ died for our sins, according to Scripture; 4 he was buried and was raised from the dead on the third day, again in accordance with Scripture.

2 Live in love, just as Christ loved you. He gave himself for us, a gift and sacrificial offering to God like a sweet-smelling perfume.

14 He gave himself for us, so that he could set us free from all our wickedness, and to make us clean for him—a people who belong to him, keen to do good.

13 and don’t use any parts of your body as evil tools of sin. Instead dedicate yourselves to God as those who have been brought back from death to life, and use all parts of your body as tools to do something good for God.

24 "For if you want to save your life, you will lose it; and if you lose your life for my sake, you will save it.

9 Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all the crops you grow.

3 Doing what’s right and fair pleases the Lord more than sacrifices.

13 Go and discover what this means: ‘I want mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I didn’t come to call those who do what’s right—I came to call sinners."*

9 But I will offer you sacrifices, shouting out my thanks. I will keep my promises to you, for salvation comes from the Lord."

32 God, who did not hold back his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, won’t he also freely give us everything?

36 "Abba, Father! You can do everything," he said. "Please, take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet it’s not what I want, but what you want."

24 But I don’t consider my life as worth anything to me. I only want to finish my mission and the ministry that the Lord Jesus gave to me, to witness to the good news of the grace of God.
