John 15:12
10 If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.
11 I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.
This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
14 You are My friends if you do what I command you.
