John 15:14-18 English Standard Version (ESV)

14. You are my friends if you do what I command you.

15. No longer do I call you servants,for the servantdoes not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

16. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

17. These things I command you, so that you will love one another.

18. “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.
