I don’t call you slaves anymore, because slaves don’t know their master’s plans. Instead, I’ve called you friends, because I’ve told you everything I’ve learned from my Father.
We also thank God constantly for the way you received his word when you heard it from us. You didn’t accept it as a human word, but for what it is, the word of God. And that word is truly at work in you who believe.
Father, I pray they will be one, just as you are in me and I am in you. I want them also to be in us so that the world will believe that you have sent me.
Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? Whenever I speak to you, I’m not saying those words on my own authority. Rather, the Father who lives in me is doing his work.
Now I want to talk about some other matters, brothers and sisters. We taught you how to live in a way that pleases God, and that’s how you’re living. But in the name of the Lord Jesus, we ask you and urge you to do that more and more.
I will be in them, just as you are in me, so that they may be brought together perfectly as one. Then the world will know that you sent me and that you have loved them just as you have loved me.
The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must happen soon. God made it known by sending his angel to his servant John.
