12. My commandment is this – to love one another just as I have loved you.
13. No one has greater love than this – that one lays down his life for his friends.
14. You are my friends if you do what I command you.
15. I no longer call you slaves, because the slave does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything I heard from my Father.
16. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that remains, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.
17. This I command you – to love one another.
18. “If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me first.
