[1] I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. [2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit. [3] Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you. [4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me. [5] I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing. [6] If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. [7] If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you. [8] Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and so shall ye be my disciples. [9] Even as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in my love. [10] If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. [11] These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. [12] This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you. [13] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. [14] Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you. [15] No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father I have made known unto you. [16] Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. [17] These things I command you, that ye may love one another. [18] If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before it hated you. [19] If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. [20] Remember the word that I said unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. [21] But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me. [22] If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. [23] He that hateth me hateth my Father also. [24] If I had not done among them the works which none other did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. [25] But this cometh to pass, that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. [26] But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness of me: [27] and ye also bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
