1I
am the true
vine, and my
Father is
the
husbandman.
2Every
branch in me
that beareth
not fruit he
taketh away:
and every branch that
beareth
fruit, he
purgeth it,
that it may
bring forth
more fruit.
3Now
ye are clean
through the
word which I
have spoken
unto you.
4Abide
in me, and I
in you. As
the branch
cannot bear
fruit of
itself,
except it
abide in the
vine; no
more can ye,
except ye
abide in me.
5I
am the vine,
ye are the
branches: He
that abideth
in me, and I
in him, the
same
bringeth
forth much
fruit: for
without me
ye can do
nothing.
6If
a man abide
not in me,
he is cast
forth as a
branch, and
is withered;
and men
gather them,
and cast them into
the fire,
and they are
burned.
7If
ye abide in
me, and my
words abide
in you, ye
shall ask
what ye
will, and it
shall be
done unto
you.
8Herein
is my Father
glorified,
that ye bear
much fruit;
so shall ye
be my
disciples.
9As
the Father
hath loved
me, so have
I loved you:
continue ye
in my love.
10If
ye keep my
commandments,
ye shall
abide in my
love; even
as I have
kept my
Father's
commandments,
and abide in
his love.
11These
things have
I spoken
unto you,
that my joy
might remain
in you, and that your
joy might be
full.
12This
is my
commandment,
That ye love
one another,
as I have
loved you.
13Greater
love hath no
man than
this, that a
man lay down
his life for
his friends.
14Ye
are my
friends, if
ye do
whatsoever I
command you.
15Henceforth
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.
16Ye
have not
chosen me,
but I have
chosen you,
and ordained
you, that ye
should go
and bring
forth fruit,
and that your
fruit should
remain: that
whatsoever
ye shall ask
of the
Father in my
name, he may
give it you.
17These
things I
command you,
that ye love
one another.
18If
the world
hate you, ye
know that it
hated me
before it
hated you.
19If
ye were of
the world,
the world
would love
his own: but
because ye
are not of
the world,
but I have
chosen you
out of the
world,
therefore
the world
hateth you.
20Remember
the word
that I said
unto you,
The servant
is not
greater than
his lord. If
they have
persecuted
me, they
will also
persecute
you; if they
have kept my
saying, they
will keep
yours also.
21But
all these
things will
they do unto
you for my
name's sake,
because they
know not him
that sent
me.
22If
I had not
come and
spoken unto
them, they
had not had
sin: but now
they have no
cloke for
their sin.
23He
that hateth
me hateth my
Father also.
24If
I had not
done among
them the
works which
none other
man did,
they had not
had sin: but
now have
they both
seen and
hated both
me and my
Father.
25But this
cometh to
pass,
that the
word might
be fulfilled
that is
written in
their law,
They hated
me without a
cause.
26But
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
testify of
me:
27And
ye also
shall bear
witness,
because ye
have been
with me from
the
beginning.
