The greatest love you can show is to give your life for your friends.
You are my friends if you obey my commandments.
I don’t call you servants anymore, because a servant doesn’t know what his master is doing. But I’ve called you friends because I’ve made known to you everything that I’ve heard from my Father. You didn’t choose me, but I chose you. I have appointed you to go, to produce fruit that will last, and to ask the Father in my name to give you whatever you ask for.

Give thanks to the LORD because he is good, because his mercy endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods because his mercy endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords because his mercy endures forever.
Give thanks to the only one who does miraculous things- because his mercy endures forever.
to the one who made the heavens by his understanding- because his mercy endures forever.
to the one who spread out the earth on the water- because his mercy endures forever.
psalms 136: 1-6
