John 15

¹I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

²[As to] every branch in me not bearing fruit, he takes it away; and [as to] every one bearing fruit, he purges it that it may bring forth more fruit.

³Ye are already clean by reason of the word which I have spoken to you.

⁴Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine, thus neither [can] ye unless ye abide in me.

⁵I am the vine, ye [are] the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.

⁶Unless any one abide in me he is cast out as the branch, and is dried up; and they 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 come to pass to you.

⁸In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and ye shall become disciples of mine.

⁹As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love.

¹⁰If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

¹¹I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be full.

¹²This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.

¹³No one has greater love than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends.
