Sacrifice: "A surrender of something of value as a means of gaining something more desirable or preventing some evil". Collins English Dictionary.

 “Most sacrifices are made in the hope of a result, that things will be better or less evil in future. Some are made to give thanks for better things already received.” http://www.chrism.org.uk/PaperC4.htm
