¹²This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

¹³Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

          14You are My friends if you do what I command you.
          15No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.
          16You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit — fruit that will remain — so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.
          17This is My command to you: Love one another.
