I am
the true
vine
, and
my
Father
is
the husbandman
.
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
.
Now ye
are
clean
through
the word
which
I have spoken
unto you
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
If ye abide
in
me
, and
my
words
abide
in
you
, ye shall ask
what
ye will
, and
it shall be done
unto you
.
Herein is
my
Father
glorified
, that
ye bear
much
fruit
; so
shall ye be
my
disciples
.
As the Father
hath loved
me
, so
have
I
loved
you
: continue ye
in
my
love
.
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
.
These things have I spoken
unto you
, that
my
joy
might remain
in
you
, and
that your
joy
might be full
.
This is
my
commandment
, That
ye love
one another
, as
I have loved
you
.
Greater love
hath
no man
than
this
, that
a man
lay down
his
life
for
his
friends
.
Ye are
my
friends
, if
ye do
whatsoever
I
command
you
.
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
.
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
.
These things I command
you
, that
ye love
one another
.
If the world
hate
you
, ye know
that
it hated
me
before
it hated you
.
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
.
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
.
But all
these things
will they do
unto you
for
my
name's
sake
, because
they know
not
him that sent
me
.
If I had
not
come
and
spoken
unto them
, they had
not
had
sin
: but
now
they have
no
cloke
for
their
sin
.
He that hateth me
hateth
my
Father
also
.
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
.
But this cometh to pass , that
the word
might be fulfilled
that is written
in
their
law
,
They hated
me
without a cause
.
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
:
And ye
also
shall bear witness
, because
ye have been
with
me
from
the beginning
.
