"No longer do I call you servants,
for the servant does not know
what his master is doing;
but I have called you friends,
for all that I have heard from my Father
I have made known to you."
(John 15:15)
The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant. (Psalm 25:14)

as a man speaks to his friend.
(Exodus 33:11).

"You are my friends
if you do what I command you."
(John 15:14)
I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach. (Acts 1:1).

to love one another."
