"I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My commandment is this: love one another, just as I love you. The greatest love a person can have for his friends is to give his life for them. And you are my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, because a servant does not know what his master is ding. Instead, I call you friends, because I have told you everything I heard from my father. You did not choose me; I chose you and appointed you to go and bear much fruit, the kind of fruit that endures. And so the Father will give you whatever you ask of him in my name. This, then, is what I command you: love one another.

98.3 Apostles
(Matthew 4:18-22)
As Jesus walked along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw two brothers who were fishermen, Simon (called Perter) and his brother Andrew, catching fish in the lake with a net. Jesus said to them, "Come with me, and I will teach you to catch them." At once they left their nets and went with him.
He went on and saw two brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in their boat with their father Zebedee, getting their nets ready. Jesus called them, and at once they left the boat and their father , and went with him.

(Amos 7:14-15)

98.1 Abraham
(Genesis 12:1-4)
The Lord said to Abraham, "Leave your country, your relatives, and your father's home, and go top a land that I am going to show you. I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation. I will bless you and make your name famous, so that you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you, But I will curse those who curse you. And through you I will bless all the nations." When Abraham was seventy-five years old, he started out from Haran, as the Lord had told him to do; and Lot went with him.

97.5 What God Requires
(Psalm 15)
Lord, who may enter your Temple" Who may worship on Zion?, your sacred hill?
A person who obeys God in everything and always does what is right, whose words are true and sincere, and who does not slander others. He does no wrong to his friends nor spreads rumors about his neighbors. He despises those whom God rejects, but honors those who obey the Lord.
He always does what he promises, no matter how much it may cost. He makes loans without charging interest and cannot be bribed to testify against the innocent.
Whoever does these things will always be secure.
