John 15:9-17 - Christlike Love

⁹ I love you just as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. ¹⁰ If you obey my commandments you will remain in my love. I have obeyed my Father's commandments and remain in his love.

¹¹ I spoke these things in order that my joy may continue with you and your joy may be made full. ¹² This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you. ¹³ No man has greater love then this that a man lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends if you do the things that I command you. ¹⁵ I no longer call you servants for the servant does not know what the lord does. I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you. ¹⁶ You did not choose me. I chose you and appointed you. You should go and bear fruit and your fruit should remain. Whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. ¹⁷ These things I command you, that you may love one another.
