Remain in My Love

9Just as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you; remain in my love.

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

11I have spoken these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be made full.

12This is my command: that you love one another just as I have loved you.

13No one has greater love than this: that someone lay down his life for his friends.

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

15I no longer call you servants, because the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I heard from my Father.

16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give you.

17These things I command you, so that you may love one another.
