St. John 15
If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love;
as I also have kept my Father's commandments, and do
abide in his love.
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be
in you, and your joy may be filled.
This is my commandment, that you love one another, as
I have loved you.
Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down
his life for his friends.
You are my friends, if you do the things that I command
you.
I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth
not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends:
because all things whatsoever I have heard of my Father,
I have made known to you.
You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have
appointed you, that you should go, and should bring
forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever
you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give
it you.
These things I command you, that you love one another.
If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me
before you.
If you had been of the world, the world would love its
own: but because you are not of the world, but I have
chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth
you.
Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is
not greater than his master. If they have persecuted
me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept
my word, they will keep yours also.
But all these things they will do to you for my name's
sake: because they know not him who sent me.
If I had not come, and spoken to them, they would not
have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
If I had not done among them the works that no other
man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they
have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
But that the word may be fulfilled which is written
in their law: They hated me without cause.
But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you
from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth
from the Father, he shall give testimony of me.
And you shall give testimony, because you are with me
from the beginning. |
