John 15:9-14

9“I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.

10When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.

11I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!

12This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.

13There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

14You are my friends if you do what I command.
