John 15:9-13

9 "I've loved you the way my Father has loved me. Make yourselves at home in my love.

10 If you keep my commands, you'll remain intimately at home in my love. That's what I've done - kept my Father's commands and made myself at home in his love.

11 "I've told you these things for a purpose: that my joy might be your joy, and your joy wholly mature.

12 This is my command: Love one another the way I loved you.

13 This is the very best way to love. Put your life on the line for your friends.
