- Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.
- Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them.”
- But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.
- I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
- I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.
- You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you.
- Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.
- But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!
- When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.
- When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
- I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!
- This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.
- There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
- You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.
- If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first.
- But I will send you the Advocate—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me.
- But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you.
- And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment.
- You haven’t done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy.
- Yes, I came from the Father into the world, and now I will leave the world and return to the Father.
- I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.
- And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.
- I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.
- Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began!
- I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them.
