6
If a man does not keep himself in me, he becomes dead and is cut off like a dry branch; such branches are taken up and put in the fire and burned.
7
If you are in me at all times, and my words are in you, then anything for which you make a request will be done for you.
8
Here is my Father's glory, in that you give much fruit and so are my true disciples.
9
Even as the Father has given me his love, so I have given my love to you: be ever in my love.
10
If you keep my laws, you will be ever in my love, even as I have kept my Father's laws, and am ever in his love.
11
I have said these things to you so that I may have joy in you and so that your joy may be complete.
12
This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.
13
Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends.
14
You are my friends, if you do what I give you orders to do.
15
No longer do I give you the name of servants; because a servant is without knowledge of what his master is doing: I give you the name of friends, because I have given you knowledge of all the things which my Father has said to me.
16
You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.
