John 15:14

Christlike Love

¹³ No one has greater love than this--a man laying down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do what I command you. ¹⁵ No longer do I call you servants, because a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because all that I have heard from the Father I have made known to you.
