John 15:16

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

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.

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.

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

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