"If you love me, you will obey my commandments.

"Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. My Father will love those who love me; I too will love them and reveal myself to them."

Jesus answered him, "Those who love me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and my Father and I will come to them and live with them.

Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; then come and follow me."

"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Away from me, you that are under God's curse! Away to the eternal fire which has been prepared for the Devil and his angels!

I was a stranger but you would not welcome me in your homes, naked but you would not clothe me; I was sick and in prison but you would not take care of me.'

The King will reply, 'I tell you, whenever you refused to help one of these least important ones, you refused to help me.'

I am not laying down any rules. But by showing how eager others are to help, I am trying to find out how real your own love is.

You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ; rich as he was, he made himself poor for your sake, in order to make you rich by means of his poverty.

This is how we know what love is: Christ gave his life for us. We too, then, ought to give our lives for others!

My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action.

If our conscience condemns us, we know that God is greater than our conscience and that he knows everything.

Do you not believe, Philip, that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I have spoken to you," Jesus said to his disciples, "do not come from me. The Father, who remains in me, does his own work.

The one whom God has sent speaks God's words, because God gives him the fullness of his Spirit.

So Jesus answered them, "I tell you the truth: the Son can do nothing on his own; he does only what he sees his Father doing. What the Father does, the Son also does.

and you do not keep his message in your hearts, for you do not believe in the one whom he sent.

Jesus answered, "What I teach is not my own teaching, but it comes from God, who sent me.

As Jesus taught in the Temple, he said in a loud voice, "Do you really know me and know where I am from? I have not come on my own authority. He who sent me, however, is truthful. You do not know him,

I have much to say about you, much to condemn you for. The one who sent me, however, is truthful, and I tell the world only what I have heard from him."

So he said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, you will know that 'I Am Who I Am'; then you will know that I do nothing on my own authority, but I say only what the Father has instructed me to say.

I talk about what my Father has shown me, but you do what your father has told you."

Jesus said to them, "If God really were your Father, you would love me, because I came from God and now I am here. I did not come on my own authority, but he sent me.

Jesus said in a loud voice, "Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in him who sent me.

I have come into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in the darkness.

Those who reject me and do not accept my message have one who will judge them. The words I have spoken will be their judge on the last day!

And I know that his command brings eternal life. What I say, then, is what the Father has told me to say."
