John 15:11-15

11 These things I have spoken to you, ¹that my joy may be in you, and that ²your joy may be full.

12 ³“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

13 ⁴Greater love has no one than this, ⁵that someone lay down his life for his friends.

14 You are ⁶my friends ⁷if you do what I command you.

15 ⁸No longer do I call you servants, ^[a] for the servant^{[b] 9}does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for ¹⁰all that I have heard from my Father ¹¹I have made known to you.
