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.
