John 15

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

²Every 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.

³Now you are 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, so neither can you, unless you abide in me.

⁵I 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.

⁶If 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.

⁷If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.

⁸In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples.

⁹As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you.

¹⁰If 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.

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

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

¹³Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
