²³ I in them, and You in Me; ^(A)that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

^21 (A)that they all may be one, as ^(B)You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.

The Command to Love

3 Behold ^(A)what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that ^(B)we should be called children of ^[a]God! Therefore the world does not know ^[b]us, ^(C)because it did not know Him.

^27 (A)for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and ^(B)have believed that I came forth from God.

^35 (A)By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

^14 (A)But above all these things ^(B)put on love, which is the ^(C)bond of perfection.

^26 (A)And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love ^(B)with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

^24 (A)“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; ^(B)for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

³ that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is ^(A)with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ But ^[a]may the God of all grace, ^(A)who called ^[b]us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, ^[c]perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
