6. Whoever does not remain in me is thrown out like a branch and dries up; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, where they are burnt.
7. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, then you will ask for anything you wish, and you shall have it.
8. My Father's glory is shown by your bearing much fruit; and in this way you become my disciples.
9. I love you just as the Father loves me; remain in my love.
10. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.
11. “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
12. My commandment is this: love one another, just as I love you.
13. The greatest love a person can have for his friends is to give his life for them.
14. And you are my friends if you do what I command you.
15. I do not call you servants any longer, because servants do not know what their master is doing. Instead, I call you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.
16. You did not choose me; I chose you and appointed you to go and bear much fruit, the kind of fruit that endures. And so the Father will give you whatever you ask of him in my name.
17. This, then, is what I command you: love one another.
18. “If the world hates you, just remember that it has hated me first.
19. If you belonged to the world, then the world would love you as its own. But I chose you from this world, and you do not belong to it; that is why the world hates you.
