John 15:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends,[a] because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.(A) 16 It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.(B)
