John 15:11-17

English Standard Version

¹¹ These things I have spoken to you, ^(A)that my joy may be in you, and that ^(B)your joy may be full.

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