John
15:9-17
NIV
Translation
John
15
9
"As
the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
10
If you obey my commands, you will remain in
my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.
11
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may
be complete.
12
My command is this: Love each other 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.
15
I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's
business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned
from my Father I have made known to you.
16
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear
fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you
ask in my name.
17
This is my command: Love each other. |

Living Translation
John
15
9
“I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.
10
When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my
Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
11
I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes,
your joy will overflow!
12
This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.
13
There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
14
You are my friends if you do what I command.
15
I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves.
Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told
me.
16
You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting
fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my
name.
17
This is my command: Love each other. |
