John 5:20
5:20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he does, and will show him greater deeds than these, so that you will be amazed.
John 10:17
10:17 This is why the Father loves me 1 – because I lay down my life, 2 so that I may take it back again.
John 12:25
12:25 The one who loves his life 3 destroys 4 it, and the one who hates his life in this world guards 5 it for eternal life.
1 tn Grk “Because of this the Father loves me.”
2 tn Or “die willingly.”
3 tn Or “soul.”
4 tn Or “loses.” Although the traditional English translation of ἀπολλύει (apolluei) in John 12:25 is “loses,” the contrast with φυλάξει (fulaxei, “keeps” or “guards”) in the second half of the verse favors the meaning “destroy” here.
5 tn Or “keeps.”
