Expanded Bible

¹¹ I have told you these things so that ·you can have the same joy I have [^Lmy joy may be in you] and so that your joy ·will be the fullest possible joy [^Lmight be complete].

¹² “This is my command: Love each other as I have loved you. ¹³ ·The greatest love a person can show is to die for his friends [^LNo one has greater love than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends; ^CJesus’ death is the ultimate expression of this principle].
