John 15:9-17 - Christlike Love
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. 15 henceforth I do not treat you as servants; for the servant is unacquainted with his master's affairs: but I have treated you as friends; for what I have learnt of my father, I have communicated to you. 16 it was not you that chose me, but I that chose you, and establish'd you, that your travels may be fruitful, and your fruit be lasting: so that whatever ye shall ask of the father for my sake, he will give it you. 17 Above all I enjoin you, to love one another.
