John 15

King James Version (KJV)

13 Ref Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14 Ref Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15 Ref 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.

16 Ref 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.

13 Ref Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

14 Ref You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.

15 Ref No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn't know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

16 Ref You didn't choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

13 Ref greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;

14 Ref ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you;

15 Ref no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.

16 Ref `Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.
