8
In this is my Father clarified, in that ye bear much fruit; and in this manner ye shall be my disciples.
9
As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love.
10
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.
11
These things I have spoken unto you that my joy may abide in you and
that your joy might be fulfilled.
12
This is my commandment, That ye love one another as I have loved you.
13
Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his soul for his friends.
14
Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15
From now on I do not call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his lord does; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and
that your fruit should remain; that whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it
unto you.
17
This I command you, that ye love one another.
18
If the world hates you, ye know that it hated me before
it hated you.
