| New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 2 Live a life filled with love for others, following the example of Christ, who loved you and gave himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins. And God was pleased, because that sacrifice was like sweet perfume to him. | 2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. |
