John 15:12-17 “This is my commandment: that you love one another as I have loved you.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² “This is my commandment: that you love one another as I have loved you. ¹³ No one shows greater love than when he lays down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do what I command you. ¹⁵ I don’t call you servants anymore, because a servant doesn’t know what his master is doing. But I’ve called you friends, because I’ve made known to you everything that I’ve heard from my Father.
¹⁶ “You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. I have appointed you to go and produce fruit that will last, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you. ¹⁷ I am giving you these commandments so that you may love one another.”
