John 15:9-17 (NKJV)
9 As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.
10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
11 These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.
16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
17 These things I command you, that you love one another.

Amor y Alegría Perfeccionados
Juan 15:9-17 (NVI)
9 Así como el Padre me ha amado a mí, también yo los he amado a vosotros. Permaneced en mi amor.
10 Si obedecéis mis mandamientos, permaneceréis en mi amor, así como yo he obedecido los mandamientos de mi Padre y permanezco en su amor.
11 Os he dicho esto para que tengáis mi alegría y vuestra alegría sea completa.
12 Y este es mi mandamiento: que os améis unos a otros, como yo os he amado.
13 Nadie tiene amor más grande que el dar la vida por sus amigos.
14 Vosotros sois mis amigos si hacéis lo que yo os mando.
15 Ya no os llamo siervos, porque el siervo no está al tanto de lo que hace su amo; os he llamado amigos, porque todo lo que a mi Padre le oí decir os lo he dado a conocer.
16 No me escogisteis vosotros a mí, sino que yo os escogí a vosotros y os comisioné para que vayáis y deis fruto, un fruto que perdure. Así el Padre os dará todo lo que le pidáis en mi nombre.
17 Este es mi mandamiento: que os améis unos a otros.

“Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD! And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”–Joshua 24:14-15 NKJV

The Armor of God
Ephesians 6:10-20 (NKJV)
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
