And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am.

If you have love for me, you will keep my laws.

And I will make prayer to the Father and he will give you another Helper to be with you for ever,

He who has my laws and keeps them, he it is who has love for me: and he who has love for me will be loved by my Father, and I will have love for him and will let myself be seen clearly by him.

Jesus said to him in answer, If anyone has love for me, he will keep my words: and he will be dear to my Father; and we will come to him and make our living-place with him.

He who has no love for me does not keep my words; and the word which you are hearing is not my word but the Father's who sent me.

Keep in mind how I said to you, I go away and come to you again. If you had love for me you would be glad, because I am going to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.

But he comes so that the world may see that I have love for the Father, and that I am doing as I am ordered by the Father. Get up, and let us go.

If you are in me at all times, and my words are in you, then anything for which you make a request will be done for you.

This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.

Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends.

You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.

So this is my law for you: Have love one for another.

If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin.

He who has hate for me has hate for my Father.

If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for me and my Father.

This comes about so that the writing in their law may be made true, Their hate for me was without cause.

But what I am saying is true: my going is for your good: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

I have still much to say to you, but you are not strong enough for it now.

However, when he, the Spirit of true knowledge, has come, he will be your guide into all true knowledge: for his words will not come from himself, but whatever has come to his hearing, that he will say: and he will make clear to you the things to come.
