John 15:12

[Verses 12-17 form a chiastic pattern. It is framed by the exhortation to "love one another," see verses 12b-13 and 17b. In verses 14 and 17a, the word "command" is used. In verses 15 and 16b, the theme is the relationship with the Father, and verse 16 is central.]
This is my commandment: that you [always actively] love one another [selflessly and generously],
just as I [actively] have loved (loved) you. [John 13:34]
