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.
16`Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.
17`These things I command you, that ye love one another;
18if the world doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before you;
