¹ I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. ² Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forward more fruit. ³ Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot+ bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more+ can you, except you abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forward much fruit: for without me you can do nothing+ . ⁶ If a man abide not in me, he is cast forward as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. ⁷ If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you will ask what+ you will, and it will be done to you. ⁸ Here is+ is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so will you be my disciples. ⁹ As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue you in my love. ¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. ¹¹ These things have I spoken to you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. ¹² This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do anything I command you. ¹⁵ From now on I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known to you. ¹⁶ You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forward fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that anything+ + you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. ¹⁷ These things I command you, that you love one another. ¹⁸ If the world hate you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore+ the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I said to 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. ²¹ But all these things will they do to you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. ²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. ²³ He that hates me hates my Father also. ²⁴ If 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. ²⁵ But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. ²⁶ But when the Comforter is come, who I will send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he will testify of me: ²⁷ And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.
