The King James Version Bible

John 15:11-18

  1. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

  2. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

  3. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

  4. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

  5. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

  6. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

  7. These things I command you, that ye love one another.

  8. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
