Can anyone read and write Hebrew?

Question

I am going to be getting a tattoo next week and it is going to say "no one has greater love than this that someone would lay down his life for his friends" it is john 15:13 and i know that the old testament was written in Hebrew, thus my reason behind that language choice. But the translators online do not give me a true write out of the sentence. Can anyone help me please?

Yes... but - John is from the New Testament, the original text was in Greek.
I've been able to find a Greek to Hebrew translation of John and it translates the sentence as:
אֵין אַהֲבָה רַבָּה מֵאַהֲבַת הַנּוֹתֵן נַפְשׁוֹ בְּעַד יְדִידָיו
Which seems ok (translating it to English gives "there's no greater love than the love of who lays down his life for his friends").
The Hebrew handwriting uses a different "round" font, (as opposed to the block font). It's much less impressive than the block font.

all of them (Greek, Hebrew, Latin). And English and a few others. The "translators" engaged on the KJV used copies of bible books that have been everywhere from 4 hundred to 1200 years removed from the "originals" (which, by utilising the way, we haven't any of). in addition they used present translations in English and different languages as references. keep in mind additionally that their objective became into no longer a "superb obtainable translation," they have been charged with arising with a version of the bible that supported the Church of britain's doctrines and dogma. King James' bible became into as lots political as religious. Peace.
