John 15:9-15 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

9. “I have loved you as the Father has loved me. Now continue in my love.

10. I have obeyed my Father’s commands, and he continues to love me. In the same way, if you obey my commands, I will continue to love you.

11. I have told you these things so that you can have the true happiness that I have. I want you to be completely happy.

12. This is what I command you: Love each other as I have loved you.

13. The greatest love people can show is to die for their friends.

14. You are my friends if you do what I tell you to do.

15. I no longer call you servants, because servants don’t know what their master is doing. But now I call you friends, because I have told you everything that my Father told me.
