8 You should produce much fruit and show that you are my followers, which brings glory to my Father.
9 I loved you as the Father loved me. Now remain in my love.
10 I have obeyed my Father’s commands, and I remain in his love. In the same way, if you obey my commands, you will remain in my love.
11 I have told you these things so that you can have the same joy I have and so that your joy will be the fullest possible joy.
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.
14 You are my friends if you do what I command you.
