| 1 I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman. | |
| 2 Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. | |
| 3 Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you. | |
| 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me. | |
| 5 I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. | |
| 6 If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and case him into the fire, and be burneth. | |
| 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you. | |
| 8 In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples. | |
| 9 As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. | |
| 10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; as I also have kept my Father's commandments, and do abide in his love. | |
| 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled. | |
| 12 This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you. | |
| 13 Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends. | |
| 14 You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you. | |
| 15 I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends: because all things whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you. | |
| 16 You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go, and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall 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, know ye, that it hath hated me before you. | |
| 19 If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. | |
| 20 Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. | |
| 21 But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake: because they know not him who sent me. | |
| 22 If I had not come, and spoken to them, they would not have 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 that no other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. | |
| 25 But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: They hated me without cause. | |
| 26 But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me. | |
| 27 And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning. | |
