What malloyd and fwcain said.

There might be some Heavenly Words that would encompass the concept of "throw oneself on the metaphorical grenade to save someone else," but I don't think anything so narrow would be a Word on its own. And "Self-Sacrifice" is... It would possibly be a somewhat hard sell to the Seraphim Council. Sword or IIRC Cherubim of Flowers might go for it -- it's a selfless thing. But it's also got a self-destructive element that makes it likely to chew through its Word-holder(s).

The judge said, 'Son, what's your alibi?
If you were somewheres else, 'n you won't have to die.'
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
