John 15:9-14

Mace(i) 9 as the father has loved me, and I have loved you: so do you persevere in your love to me. 10 your love to me will be in keeping my commandments: even as I love my father by keeping his commandments. 11 These things have I spoken to you, that you might have some present comfort, and that hereafter your joy might be compleat. 12 this is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 there cannot be greater love than that of a man, who lays down his life for his friends. 14 you will be my friends, if you do what I have commanded you.
