Romans 16:4
Who have for laid my life down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

ἐν τούτῳ ἐγνώκαμεν τὴν ἀγάπην ὅτι ἐκεῖνος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἔθηκεν· καὶ ἡμεῖς ὀφείλομεν ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀδελφῶν τὰς ψυχὰς τιθέναι
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
ὅτι διὰ τὸ ἔργον τοῦ Χριστοῦ μέχρι θανάτου ἤγγισεν παραβουλευσάμενος τῇ ψυχῇ ἵνα ἀναπληρώσῃ τὸ ὑμῶν ὑστέρημα τῆς πρός με λειτουργίας
Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
Περὶ δὲ τῆς λογίας τῆς εἰς τοὺς ἁγίους ὥσπερ διέταξα ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Γαλατίας οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιήσατε
Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
ὑμεῖς γὰρ μιμηταὶ ἐγενήθητε ἀδελφοί τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν τοῦ θεοῦ τῶν οὐσῶν ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ὅτι ταὐτὰ ἐπάθετε καὶ ὑμεῖς ὑπὸ τῶν ἰδίων συμφυλετῶν καθὼς καὶ αὐτοὶ ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων
For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
μείζονα ταύτης ἀγάπην οὐδεὶς ἔχει ἵνα τις τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ θῇ ὑπὲρ τῶν φίλων αὐτοῦ
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
μόλις γὰρ ὑπὲρ δικαίου τις ἀποθανεῖται· ὑπὲρ γὰρ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ τάχα τις καὶ τολμᾷ ἀποθανεῖν·
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
Εἰ μὴ ἑκάστῳ ὡς ἐμέρισεν ὁ θεός ἕκαστον ὡς κέκληκεν ὁ κύριος οὕτως περιπατείτω καὶ οὕτως ἐν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις πάσαις διατάσσομαι
But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
וְאֹיְבַי תַּתָּה לִּי עֹרֶף מְשַׂנְאַי וָֽאַצְמִיתֵֽם׃
Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
לָכֵן כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי חֹשֵׁב עַל-הַמִּשְׁפָּחָה הַזֹּאת רָעָה אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-תָמִישׁוּ מִשָּׁם צַוְּארֹֽתֵיכֶם וְלֹא תֵֽלְכוּ רוֹמָה כִּי עֵת רָעָה הִֽיא׃
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
וַיְהִי כְּֽהוֹצִיאָם אֶת-הַמְּלָכִים הָאֵלֶּה אֶל-יְהוֹשֻׁעַ וַיִּקְרָא יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶל-כָּל-אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל-קְצִינֵי אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה הֶהָֽלְכוּא אִתּוֹ קִרְבוּ שִׂימוּ אֶת-רַגְלֵיכֶם עַֽל-צַוְּארֵי הַמְּלָכִים הָאֵלֶּה וַֽיִּקְרְבוּ וַיָּשִׂימוּ אֶת-רַגְלֵיהֶם עַל-צַוְּארֵיהֶֽם׃
And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
διήρχετο δὲ τὴν Συρίαν καὶ Κιλικίαν ἐπιστηρίζων τὰς ἐκκλησίας
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
αἱ μὲν οὖν ἐκκλησίαι ἐστερεοῦντο τῇ πίστει καὶ ἐπερίσσευον τῷ ἀριθμῷ καθ' ἡμέραν
And so were the churches established in the in faith, and increased number daily.
Ἰωάννης ταῖς ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίαις ταῖς ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ· χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ τοῦ ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἑπτὰ πνευμάτων ἃ ἐστιν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ
John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
