The principle of love is to deny ourselves for God, and the example of love is forever Christ
-- “要憑愛心行事,正如基督愛我們,為我們捨了自己,當作馨香的供物和祭物獻與 神”” And walk in love, as
Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice
to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.”(弗Eph 5:2)
-- “主為我們捨命、我們從此就知道何為愛.我們也當為弟兄捨命。”” By this we know love,
because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for
the brethren.”(約壹I John 3:16)
