John 10:17-18 Because of this, the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, in order that I may again take it.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Because of this, the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, in order that I may again take it. ¹⁸ No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down out of myself. I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it up again. I received this commandment from my Father.
