John 15:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ I don’t call you servants anymore, because a servant doesn’t know what his master is doing. But I’ve called you friends, because I’ve made known to you everything that I’ve heard from my Father.

¹⁶ “You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. I have appointed you to go and produce fruit that will last,^[a] so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you. ¹⁷ I am giving you these commandments so that you may love one another.”
