Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15 a“If you love me, you will bkeep my commandments.John 14:21-24
21 cWhoever has my commandments and dkeeps them, he it is who loves me. And ehe who loves me fwill be loved by my Father, and I will love him and gmanifest myself to him.” 22 hJudas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it ithat you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23Jesus answered him, j“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and kwe will come to him and lmake our home with him. 24Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And mthe word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.John 15:10
10 nIf you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as oI have kept pmy Father’s commandments and abide in his love.2 Corinthians 5:14-15
14For the love of Christ qcontrols us, because we have concluded this: that rone has died for all, therefore all have died; 15and he died for all, sthat those who live might no longer live for themselves but tfor him who for their sake died and was raised.1 John 2:15-16
Do Not Love the World
15 uDo not love the world or the things in the world. vIf anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world— wthe desires of the flesh and xthe desires of the eyes and pride of life ▼▼Or pride in possessions
—is not from the Father but is from the world. 1 John 5:3
3For zthis is the love of God, that we aakeep his commandments. And abhis commandments are not burdensome.
