Acts
10:44-48
10:44 While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon
all who heard the word.
10:45
The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astounded
that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the
Gentiles,
10:46
for they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then
Peter said,
10:47
"Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people who
have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?"
10:48
So he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
Then they invited him to stay for several days.

The LORD has made known his victory; he has revealed his

live in it.

John 5:1-6
5:1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born
of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child.
5:2
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God
and obey his commandments.
5:3
For the love of God is this, that we obey his commandments. And
his commandments are not burdensome,
5:4
for whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the
victory that conquers the world, our faith.
5:5
Who is it that conquers the world but the one who believes that
Jesus is the Son of God?
5:6
This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not
with the water only but with the water and the blood. And the
Spirit is the one that testifies, for the Spirit is the truth.

John
15:9-17
15:9 As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my
love.
15:10
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.
15:11
I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and
that your joy may be complete.
15:12
"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have
loved you.
15:13
No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for
one's friends.
15:14
You are my friends if you do what I command you.
15:15
I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does
not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends,
because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from
my Father.
15:16
You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go
and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give
you whatever you ask him in my name.
15:17
I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.
