15:12 My commandment is this—
to love one another just as I have
loved you.
13 No one has greater love than
this—
that one lays down his life for his friends.
14 You are my friends if you
do what I command you.
15 I
no longer call you slaves because the
slave does
not understand what his master is
doing.
But I have
called you friends because I have
revealed to
you everything I
heard from my Father.
16 You did
not choose me,
but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit,
fruit that
remains,
so that whatever you
ask the
Father in my name he will
give you.
17 This I
command you—
to love one another.
