Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good.

Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.

It is unusual for anyone to die for a godly person. Maybe someone would be willing to die for a good person.

For one will scarcely die for a righteous person— though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—

For rarely will someone die for a just person— though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die.

For one will hardly die for a righteous person; though perhaps for the good person someone would even dare to die.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for peradventure for the good man some one would even dare to die.

Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and strong in faith. And many people were brought to the Lord.

In fact, they once risked their lives for me. I am thankful to them, and so are all the Gentile churches.

There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.

David was staying in the stronghold at the time, and a Philistine detachment had occupied the town of Bethlehem.David remarked longingly to his men,“ Oh, how I would love some of that good water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem.”So the Three broke through the Philistine lines, drew some water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out as an offering to the Lord.“ The Lord forbid that I should drink this!” he exclaimed.“ This water is as precious as the blood of these men who risked their lives to bring it to me.” So David did not drink it. These are examples of the exploits of the Three.

But his men objected strongly.“ You must not go,” they urged.“ If we have to turn and run— and even if half of us die— it will make no difference to Absalom’s troops; they will be looking only for you. You are worth 10,000 of us, and it is better that you stay here in the town and send help if we need it.”

“ The first man runs like Ahimaaz son of Zadok,” the watchman said.“ He is a good man and comes with good news,” the king replied.

Good comes to those who lend money generously and conduct their business fairly.
