Scriptures:
Matthew 10:16 NASB -
Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of the wolves. So be shrewd (wise, cunning, or clever) as serpents, and yet innocent (harmless, gentle) as doves.
John 10:10 NASB -
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
John 15:13 NASB -
Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:22-25 NASB -
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well. 25 But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, 'They hated Me without a cause.’
