John 15:16 in context
14Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

16Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

18If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
