15:15 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.

 15:16 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.

 15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

 15:21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

 15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.

 15:23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

 15:24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
