John 15

¹I Am that true vine, and my Father is that husband man.

²Euery branch that beareth not fruite in me, he taketh away: and euery one that beareth fruite, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruite.

³Nowe are ye cleane through the worde, which I haue spoken vnto you.

⁴Abide in me, and I in you: as the branche cannot beare fruite of it selfe, except it abide in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

⁵I am that vine: ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruite: for without me can ye doe nothing.

⁶If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branche, and withereth: and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they burne.

⁷If ye abide in me, and my wordes abide in you, aske what ye wil, and it shalbe done to you.

⁸Herein is my Father glorified, that ye beare much fruite, and be made my disciples.

⁹As the father hath loued me, so haue I loued you: continue in that my loue.

¹⁰If ye shall keepe my commandements, ye shall abide in my loue, as I haue kept my Fathers commandements, and abide in his loue.

¹¹These things haue I spoken vnto you, that my ioy might remaine in you, and that your ioy might be full.

¹²This is my commandement, that ye loue one another, as I haue loued you.

¹³Greater loue then this hath no man, when any man bestoweth his life for his friendes.
