John 15:9-17

Common English Bible CEB

9 “As the Father loved me, I too have loved you. Remain in my love.

10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love.

11 I have said these things to you so that my joy will be in you and your joy will be complete.

12 This is my commandment: love each other just as I have loved you.

13 No one has greater love than to give up one's life for one's friends.

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

15 I don't call you servants any longer, because servants don't know what their master is doing. Instead, I call you friends, because everything I heard from my Father I have made known to you.

16 You didn't choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you could go and produce fruit and so that your fruit could last. As a result, whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

17 I give you these commandments so that you can love each other.

New International Version NIV

9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

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

15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.

17 This is my command: Love each other.
