John 15:9-15

Etheridge(i) 9 As my Father hath loved me, so I have loved you: continue in the love of me. 10 If my commandments you will keep, you shall abide in my love; as I have kept the commandments of my Father, and abide in his love. 11 These have I spoken with you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. 12 This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Love which is greater than this is not, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends, if you do all that I command you. 15 No more I call you servants, for the servant knoweth not what doeth his Lord; but my friends have I called you; wherefore all that I have heard from my Father, I have made known unto you.
