New American Standard Bible 1995

John 15:12-16

12“This is 1My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.

13 2Greater love has no one than this, that one 3lay down his life for his friends.

14You are My 4friends if 5you do what I command you.

15No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for 6all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.

16 7You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and 8bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that 9whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.
