9According as the Father did love me, I also loved you, remain in my love;
10if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;
11these things I have spoken to you, that my joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.
12`This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you;
13greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;
14ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you;
15no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.
