⁷ If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.^{(A) 8} My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become^[a] my disciples.^{(B) 9} As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. ¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.^{(C) 11} I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.^(D)

¹² “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.^{(E) 13} No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.^{(F) 14} You are my friends if you do what I command you.^{(G) 15} I do not call you servants^[b] any longer, because the servant^[c] does not know what the master is doing, but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father.

²⁶ “When the Advocate^[a] comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, he will testify on my behalf.^{(A) 27} You also are to testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.^(B)
