16 You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.
9 So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you.

All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.

Do this in remembrance of me as often as you drink it.”
