John 15:7–16

⁷If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will: and it shall be done unto you.

⁸In this is my Father glorified: that you bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples.

⁹As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in my love.

¹⁰If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love: as I also have kept my Father’s commandments and do abide in his love.

¹¹These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled.

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

¹³Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

¹⁴You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.

¹⁵I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends: because all things, whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you.

¹⁶You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
