Greater Love Has No One

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.
Now remain in my love.

If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love,
just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands
and remain in his love.

I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and
that your joy may be complete.

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

Greater love has no one than this,
that he lay down his life for his friends.

You are my friends if you do what I command.

I no longer call you servants,
because a servant does not know his master’s business.
Instead, I have called you friends,
for everything that I learned from my Father
I have made known to you.

You did not choose me,
but I chose you and appointed you
to go and bear fruit
— fruit that will last.
Then the Father will give you
whatever you ask in my name.

This is my command: Love each other.

John 15:9-17
