John 15:16 in Context — John 15
14 Vous êtes mes amis, si vous faites ce que je vous commande.
15 Je ne vous appelle plus serviteurs, parce que le serviteur ne sait pas ce que fait son maître; mais je vous ai appelés amis, parce queje vous ai fait connaître tout ce que j’ai appris de mon Père.
16 Ce n’est pas vous qui m’avez choisi; mais moi, je vous ai choisis, et je vous ai établis,afin que vous alliez, et que vous portiez du fruit, et que votre fruit demeure, afin que ce que vous demanderez au Père en mon nom, il vous le donne.
17 Ce que je vous commande, c’est de vous aimer les uns les autres.
18 Si le monde vous hait, sachez qu’il m’a haï avant vous.
