John 15:4-8 (AeP T21 version) "Live in me, and let me live in you"

"Live in me, and let me live in you. As the branch cannot produce fruit by itself, unless it lives in the vine, no more can you, unless you live in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who lives in me, and I in him, will produce much fruit. Because without me, you can do nothing. If a man does not live in me, he is thrown out like a branch, and withers, and men gather it, and throw it into the fire, and it burns. If you live in me, and my words live in you, you will ask what you wish, and it will be done to you. In this, my Father is glorified - that you produce much fruit and be my disciples."

John 14:15-21 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version "If you love me, keep my commandments."

"If you love me, keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another comforter, so he may remain with you forever, Who is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because the world does not see him nor knows him. But you know him, because he lives with you, and will be in you. I will not leave you comfortless, but will come to you. In a little while, the world will see me no more, but you see me. Because I live, you will live, too. On that day, you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. He who has my commandments, and keeps them, that is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will show myself to him."

John 17:11b-19 in the AeP T21 Version "Holy Father, keep through your own name those whom you have given me..."

"Holy Father, keep through your own name those whom you have given me, so they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, except the son of perdition, so the scripture might be fulfilled. Now I come to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

I have given them your words, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not desire that you would take them out of the world, but that you keep them from evil. They are not from the world, just as I am not from the world. Sanctify them through your truth. Your words are truth. As you sent me into the world, I have also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so they also might be sanctified through the truth."
- John 17:11b-19

John 15:9-17 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version: "As the Father has loved me, I have loved you. Continue in my love."

"As the Father has loved me, I have loved you. Continue in my love. If you will keep my commandments, you will live in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments, and live in his love. These things I have spoken to you, so my joy might remain in you, and so your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you. No man has greater love than this: that a man give his life for his friends.

You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you. From now on I will not call you servants, because the servant does not know what his master does. But I have called you friends, because all things that I have heard from my Father I have opened to you. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, so you would go and produce fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so whatever you ask from the Father in my name, he would give it you. These things I command you, that you love one another."

Matt. 28:16-20 in the Abbott ePublishing Tyndale21 Version: "...Go therefore, and teach all nations..."

"Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, onto a mountain where Jesus had told them to go. And when they saw him, they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All power is given to me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, Look: I am with you always, even to the end of the world."

Matt. 19:1-19 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version "Let no man, therefore, put asunder that which God has coupled together."

And when Jesus had finished, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan; And large crowds followed him; and he healed them there. 

The Pharisees also came to him, tempting him, and saying to him, Is it legal for a man to divorce his wife for all kinds of reasons? And he said to them, Have you not read, that he who made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this reason will a man leave father and mother, and will join to his wife: and the two will be one flesh? So now they are not two, but one flesh. Let no man, therefore, put asunder that which God has coupled together. 

They said to him, Why did Moses then command to give a certificate of divorce, and to divorce her? 

He said to them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts allowed you to divorce your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. So, I say to you, Whoever divorces his wife (unless it is because of adultery) and then marries another, breaks wedlock. And whoever marries she who is divorced does also commit adultery.

John 13:3-5 (AeP Tyndale21 Vers.) "Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands..."

"Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God, and went to God, Stood up from supper, and laid aside his clothes, and took a towel, and wrapped himself. And after that, he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel in which he was wrapped."
- John 13:3-5
