"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. |
2
|
He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. |
3
|
You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. |
4
|
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. |
5
|
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. |
6
|
If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. |
7
|
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. |
8
|
This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. |
9
|
"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. |
10
|
If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. |
11
|
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. |
12
|
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. |
13
|
Greater love has no-one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. |
14
|
You are my friends if you do what I command. |
15
|
I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. |
16
|
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. |
17
|
This is my command: Love each other. |
18
|
"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. |
19
|
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. |
20
|
Remember the words I spoke to you:`No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. |
21
|
They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. |
22
|
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. |
23
|
He who hates me hates my Father as well. |
24
|
If I had not done among them what no-one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. |
25
|
But this is to fulfil what is written in their Law:`They hated me without reason.' |
26
|
"When the Counsellor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. |
27
|
And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning. |
