16 You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.

16 Voi non avete eletto me, ma io ho eletti voi; e vi ho costituiti, acciocchè andiate, e portiate frutto, e il vostro frutto sia permanente; acciocchè qualunque cosa chiederete al Padre nel mio nome, egli ve la dia.
