Jesus Defines His Friendship Criteria

English “continue” emboldened in James 4:13 was mistranslated from Greek verb 4160 poieo that best reflects God’s definition translated into Jesus words “ye do” and “doeth” in John 15:14-15 “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” “Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you”. Pursuant to 1Timothy 2:3-4 “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”.
