11 Estas coisas eu tenho vos dito para que minha alegria esteja em vós, e vossa alegria seja completa.

12 Este é meu mandamento: que vos ameis uns aos outros, assim como eu vos amei.

13 Ninguém tem maior amor que este: que alguém ponha sua vida por seus amigos.

14 Vós sois meus amigos, se fizerdes o que eu vos mando.

15 Já não vos chamo mais servos; porque o servo não sabe o que faz seu senhor; mas eu tenho vos chamado de amigos, porque tudo quanto ouvi de meu Pai eu tenho vos feito conhecer.
