John 15:9-17
13Greater love has no one than this, that he laydown his life for his friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command. 15I no longer call youservants, because a servant does not know hismaster's business. Instead, I have called you friends,for everything that I learned from my Father I havemade known to you. 16You did not choose me, but Ichose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—
fruit that will last. Then the Father will give youwhatever you ask in my name. 17This is mycommand: Love each other.
