John 15:11-23

¹¹These things I spake to you, that my joy be in you, and your joy be full-filled.

¹²This is my commandment, that ye love together, as I have loved you.

¹³No man hath more love than this, that a man put his life for his friends.

¹⁴Ye be my friends if ye do those things, that I command to you.

¹⁵Now I shall not call you servants, for the servant knoweth not, what his lord shall do; but I have called you friends, for all things whatever I heard of my Father, I have made known to you.

¹⁶Ye have not chosen me, but I chose you; and I have put you, that ye go, and bring forth fruit, and your fruit dwell; that whatever thing ye ask the Father in my name, he give to you.

¹⁷These things I command to you, that ye love together.

¹⁸If the world hate you, know ye, that it had me in hate rather than you.

¹⁹If ye had been of the world, the world should love that thing that was his; but for ye be not of the world, but I chose you from the world, therefore the world hateth you.

²⁰Have ye mind of my word, which I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have pursued me, they shall pursue you also; if they have kept my word, they shall keep yours also.

²¹But they shall do to you all these things for my name, for they know not him that sent me.

²²If I had not come, and had not spoken to them, they should not have sin; but now they have none excusation or not excusing of their sin.

²³He that hateth me, hateth also my Father.
