John 15:10-17
English Standard Version
10 (A)If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as (B)I have kept (C)my Father's commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, (D)that my joy may be in you, and that (E)your joy may be full.
12 (F)“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 (G)Greater love has no one than this, (H)that someone lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are (I)my friends (J)if you do what I command you. 15 (K)No longer do I call you servants,[a] for the servant (L)does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for (M)all that I have heard from my Father (N)I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but (O)I chose you and appointed you that you should go and (P)bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that (Q)whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 17 These things I command you, (R)so that you will love one another.

John 15:10-17
New International Version
10 If you keep my commands,(A) you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.(B) 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.(C) 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.(D) 14 You are my friends(E) if you do what I command.(F) 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.(G) 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you(H) so that you might go and bear fruit(I)—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.(J) 17 This is my command: Love each other.(K)
