there is no greater love, no greater love, than to lay down your life for a friend.
As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Live on in my love.
You will live in my love if you keep my commands, even as I have kept my Father's.
There is no greater love, says the Lord, than to lay down your life for a friend;
there is no greater love, no greater love, than to lay down your life for a friend.
All this I tell you that my joy may be yours and your joy may be complete.
Love one another as I have loved you: This is my command.
There is no greater love, says the Lord, than to lay down your life for a friend;
there is no greater love, no greater love, than to lay down your life for a friend.
You are my friends if you keep my commands; no longer slaves but friends to me.
All I heard from my Father, I have made known to you: Now I call you friends.
There is no greater love, says the Lord, than to lay down your life for a friend;
there is no greater love, no greater love, than to lay down your life for a friend.
It was not you who chose me, it was I who chose you, chose you to go forth and bear fruit.
Your fruit must endure, so you will receive all you ask the Father in my name.
