John

John 15:13–15

¹³Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

¹⁴You are My friends if you do what I command you. ¹⁵No 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.
