This is my commandment,
That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his
friends.
Ye are my friends,
if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Henceforth I call you not servants;
for the servant knoweth not what his lord
doeth:
but I have called you friends;
for all things that I have heard of my
Father I have made known unto you.
Ye have not chosen me,
but I have chosen you,
These things I command you,
that ye love one another.
John 15:12-17
