John 15:9-15

9“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.

10If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

11“These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.

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

13Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

14You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

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