John 15:10–18
10If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.↗
11I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.↗
12“This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.↗
13Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.↗
14You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.↗
15No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.↗
16You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.↗
17“I command these things to you, that you may love one another.↗
18If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.↗
