John
John.15
[1] I am the true vine, and my Father is the
husbandman.
[2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh
away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it
may bring forth more fruit.
[3] Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken
unto you.
[4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear
fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye,
except ye abide in me.
[5] I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in
me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without
me ye can do nothing.
[6] If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a
branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into
the fire, and they are burned.
[7] If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall
ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
[8] Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much
fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
[9] As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you:
continue ye in my love.
[10] If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my
love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in
his love.
[11] These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy
might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
[12] This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as
I have loved you.
[13] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay
down his life for his friends.
[14] Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command
you.
[15] Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant
knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends;
for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known
unto you.
[16] Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and
ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that
your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the
Father in my name, he may give it you.
[17] These things I command you, that ye love one
another.
[18] If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me
before it hated you.
[19] If ye were of the world, the world would love his
own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you
out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
[20] Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant
is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they
will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will
keep yours also.
[21] But all these things will they do unto you for my
name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
[22] If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not
had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
[23] He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
[24] If I had not done among them the works which none
other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen
and hated both me and my Father.
[25] But this cometh to pass, that the word might be
fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a
cause.
[26] But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto
you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth
from the Father, he shall testify of me:
[27] And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been
with me from the beginning.
