8
In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and ye shall become disciples of mine.
9
As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love.
10
If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
11
I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be full.
12
This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13
No one has greater love than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends.
14
Ye are my friends if ye practise whatever I command you.
15
I call you no longer bondmen, for the bondman does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things which I have heard of my Father I have made known to you.
16
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and have set you that ye should go and [that] ye should bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should abide, that whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name he may give you.
17
These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18
If the world hate you, know that it has hated me before you.
