John 15:9-15 Just as the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. So abide in my love.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ Just as the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. So abide in my love. ¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you’ll abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. ¹¹ I’ve told you this, so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
¹² “This is my commandment: that you love one another as I have loved you. ¹³ No one shows greater love than when he lays down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do what I command you. ¹⁵ I don’t call you servants anymore, because a servant doesn’t know what his master is doing. But I’ve called you friends, because I’ve made known to you everything that I’ve heard from my Father.
