Instead, I have called you friends because everything I heard from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you. 17 This is my command: Love one another.

If we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us. 13 By this, we know that we remain in Him and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in them, and they in God. 16 And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in them.
