John 15:13

Love for othersFriendshipThe cross and atonement

11 I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.

12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

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.

15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.
