John 15:8-13
15:8 My Father is honored
by this, that
you bear
much fruit and show that you are
my disciples.
15:9 “Just as the Father has loved me, I have also loved you; remain in my love.
15:10 If you obey my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
15:11 I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be complete.
15:12 My commandment is this – to love one another just as I have loved you.
15:13 No one has greater love than this – that one lays down his life for his friends.
