John 15:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 [a]Henceforth call I you not servants: for the servant knoweth not what his master doeth: but I have called you friends: for all things that I have heard of my Father, have I made known to you.
16 [b]Ye [c]have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, (A)that ye go and bring forth fruits, and that your fruit remain, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my Name, he may give it you.
