John 15:8-18 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

8. In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples.

9. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue you in my love.

10. If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

11. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

12. This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you.

13. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14. You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you.

15. From now on I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

16. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

17. These things I command you, that you love one another.

18. If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.
