8
In this is my Father glorified: that you bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples.
9
As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in my love.
10
If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love: as I also have kept my Father’s commandments and do abide in his love.
11
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled.
12
This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.
13
Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14
You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.
15
I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends. because all things, whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you.
16
You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17
These things I command you, that you love one another.
18
If the world hate you, know ye that it hath hated me before you.
