If You Love Me

15If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, so that he may be with you forever,

17the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he remains with you and will be in you.

18I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.

19A little while longer, and the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.

20On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

21The one who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.

22Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”

23Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.”

24The one who does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine, but belongs to the Father who sent me.
